    Not really Nick, cracking stuff! Had a fantastic day today, really enjoyed my first visit to Didcot, thanks to those who made the day extra brilliant and fascinating. :)

    Agree, 813 and those coaches on the branch were a perfect match. Another enjoyable trip to Didcot for me on Saturday, always loads to see even though I've seen most of it before!

    Does any one know, has no.93 been in a fight with something? Looked like some damage (to the paint at least) down the sides, is this from lineside vegetation on the national network?

    SRM 93......the plywood used for the body is apparently low grade ply.
    From what I heard unofficial is that steel sheeting is going to be substituted for the damaged panel.

    It was certainly pretty rough when I saw it at Didcot last August
