Hi Lindy Lou, I think you are correct with the Waggon Repairer, but I would not like to say what it says above it, it does start with Ra but cannot make out the rest, and whats the long bar at the end? Keith |

I think it says something about the Rail. Not sure what the 2nd word is though. |

The words above Waggon repairer are Rail Servant..........indicating that the boy was employed by the railway company, as opposed to repairing wagons for some other organisation. Reg |
