    But they're the hoi polloi. You need to go further north for quality over quantity. Not too far, though as once past Hadrian's wall you're into heathen land.:):)

    Newstead arrived at the Swindon & Cricklade Railway on Thursday and underwent FTR and testing today. Will be pulling the railway's fully-booked Santa Specials over the next few weeks.
