    Went past Southall depot today by rail at a slow speed and saw a Toad in light BR grey outside which I assume to be 68766? Looks as if it is freshly outshopped and according to the database is is privately owned.

    Does anybody know what the plan is for it?

    I believe it's to be the support vehicle for the 0-6-0ST Lindsay, which has previously been at Southall but is now elsewhere under overhaul.

    USA Tank 30064, under the same ownership, is also at Southall.
