    If it's been shoved up Copy Pit then the Spanish diesel has already come to the rescue of the Brexit Express. :)

    True enough, but it was obviously Sabotage - Infiltrators within the Brexit camp managed to swap the good UK coal for some naff EU stuff… :rolleyes:

    No - Crewe - York - MNR - Crewe moves are/were all DBC, not WCR.

    My apologies I was just going on what RTT was saying that NRM - MNR was a WCRC move, delighted to be corrected.

    Maybe EU coal from Poland, or of course from the newest European country Australia. (qv Eurovision Song Contest). :D

    Or maybe, dare we say this, since it's already been used against WCR, the crew's lack of experience/confidence with the loco...

    None of this sparring and humour assists anyone in understanding why the loco had problems yesterday nor the implicatiosn of it especially for the forthcoming MNR gala

    Nowt on the Icons on Steam website which is usually very quick with news...

    Strangely there have been none of the usual demands for information, insults about operation and diesels on the back in this case from the normal suspects, anyone would think it was because it was a DBC rather than WCRC operation, I however could not possibly comment! :D
