Not correct 6026. Whilst some of WCR's current steam drivers, are ex EWS, there are many who never worked for EWS, having gone to WCR from...
Positively old then! I started at 14 too many years ago and seem to have progressed a little. My works manager was hotting rivets at 9, he and...
As you say DBS (EWS) will only operate air brake trains, and that came into force around 2003. At that time we had been placing work with both EWS...
The point is that it is VT who decide on which engine is being used, and until we are certain of the identity we are not going to say anything....
No worries there Ralph, we can usually tell the difference between the malevolant and the seriously misguided. Bob
So when exactly did we start believing that we could use a picture in SR as a matching sample for ordering paint? The green in which 4936 is...
