  2. Leviathan liked free2grice's post in the thread Vintage Trains 2024.

    I can understand why the question was asked. If I were travelling towards the rear of the train to Plymouth, I would prefer the train not to be turned at Plymouth thereby ensuring that I was closer to the locos on the return. <BJ>

    Lovely to see that, thanks for posting it here, and thanks to Lliam too. Looking on its way to being nicely weathered . . . . . . .;) And here's one I took of that loco a little bit earlier, when it was fully weathered. [ATTACH]

    I'm not disputing any of that, but how many of the scrapped A1's hadn't had a boiler replacement in that time? like every other class the boilers were worked on/repaired/rebuilt and worn out again, Tornado is no longer a new locomotive.

    BR was ridding itself of 16 year old A1s not because they were life expired but because Steam had finished and they were being replaced by diesels. Younger standard classes went to the cutter’s torch when they were still in perfectly good order.
