JBTEvans liked acorb's post in the thread 6880 Betton Grange.
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] Couple of shots from yesterday, stunning loco. Look forward to a ride on a line which tests her a bit more as only a brief bit of the Grange bark from her on what is an easily graded line.

JBTEvans liked acorb's post in the thread 6880 Betton Grange.
Had a very enjoyable day with round trips behind both the Grange and Saint. 6880 ran like a sewing machine with very little effort needed to shift a full 8 coach load. This is clearly a very powerful loco which will be popular and useful across...
