    7325 is currently at Bridgnorth for a survey to assess the work needed for its next overhaul. Even if this were to start immediately it sadly wouldn't be finished in time to join 2968 on the main line. But yes, they made a formidable pair.

    The concept of a steam centre sadly hasn't stood the passage of time with Tyseley and Carnforth now essentially engineering bases and TOC hq's . Dinting closed and Didcot has made the best of it creating a fabulous showcase of all things GWR...

    I see it has a diesel loco on the back. No doubt as a spoiler for those in the front coach there to enjoy the thrash from the xxx class loco on the front. Presumably that is there as a show pony? ;) Bryan - and a very clean show pony too - B
