Sadly the heritage movement as a whole is majorly lacking spare in locos ‘sitting around’ even western ones. It’s the worst I’ve known it for years. If you want a hire for next summer you’d better start your negotiations now… admittedly, being...

My well thumbed copy dates back to 1966. It still provides inspiration to occasionally try something different. Happy birthday to the author and thanks for changing perceptions. Cheers, Neil
