    The Cambrian Coast Express - 5th & 8th June

    Replica builds for heritage lines.

    Replica builds for heritage lines.

    Austerities, whilst brilliant little machines, are cannon fodder to the rebuild projects when compared to those unique (I think?) industrial locos...

    Replica builds for heritage lines.

    The Midday Scot 19th March 2016
