    What does "original bodied" imply with regard toi 6940 at Llangollen? I thought D6700 and 37003 had beaten it in having the modifications to the bodies undone?

    Oops, forgot to vote! Still, would only have moved 20304 from last place to joint last, and it's not preserved anyway. But the 15 is a very worthy winner.
