    Have they managed to set Alton & Alresford as destinations on the indicator Steve?

    Not seen that yet, but I'm guessing we've cracked the code (or at least read the manual) so correct destinations should be available! The Sprinter has been pottering around the headshunt/station today.

    A thought occurred to me seeing that photo and the coupling on the 150. Does the railway have anything capable of towing/shunting it? I presume some form of adapter must be possible, or would a barrier vehicle be necessary?

    Adapter couplings are available. In fact all the units used to carry one at each end when introduced.
