  1. acorb liked Big Al's post in the thread WCR 2024 Railtours.

    Sorry to bang on about it but I think we have now seen enough examples of the power of a Bulleid and specifically what Tangmere used to be like.....also driven by the few West Coast people who really knew how to handle her. Imagine what, for...
