  1. 35B liked Paul Grant's post in the thread Class 507 to be preserved at Nant Mawr, funding appeal launched.

    My intention wasn't to denigrate the mundane vehicles. They are even more important than some show pony pieces. I'm sure if I keep typing we'll be entering into a huge discussion of semantics and worthiness.
