Mick45305 gefällt MuzTrems Beitrag in dem Thema 6024 King Edward 1.
With its cut-down boiler mountings and slimline cylinders, 6024's appearance is no longer 'authentic' for any part of its working life. So, arguably, it really doesn't matter what colour they paint it now...

Mick45305 gefällt Jamessquareds Beitrag in dem Thema Fire Risk.
A lot of good points in there. To take the Bluebell as an example, we have something like 30 drivers, but only around half of them have diesel competence of some kind. Moreover, for the class 33 and class 201 that had generally lapsed at the...

Mick45305 gefällt LMS2968s Beitrag in dem Thema SVR Loco Newsy News / discussions.
