Fish Plate liked flying scotsman123's post in the thread West Somerset Railway General Discussion.

Rover replied to the thread LE movements, ECS and test runs 2024.
I didn't mean looking really run down, like at the end without nameplates etc. Just everyday grime that showed they were proper working engines, and not museum exhibits. Even when the railway had plenty of cleaners, they didn't look like Clan...
