    I don't get why people need to infer that they sexually excited for an inanimate object that's all.

    It was a joke. You should lighten up or ignore it-life's too short!

    That is looking good. I'm confused by what looks like lining on the footplate valance angle the front, though.

    Initially it was due to come back in to traffic as 13268, in LMS Lined Black. But instead it is coming back in plain black as 2968 for a brief period whilst it enters traffic and gets through to a point it can be painted in lined livery, whilst not interrupting traffic requirements.

    The front end was painted several tears ago, including the red lining applied by the LMS to mixed traffic locos, but the running plate ahead of the cylinders wasn't then fitted. It has been decided to repaint the buffer beam and the cream edging is masking tape.

    4930 swapped out today for its Annual Exam. 75069 and 7714 now at Bewdley for the service trains, although not for long as it seems 43106 is due to swap with 77 next Sunday. 75069 has been turned to face South today, although not sure for how long.

    Well the rumour is it’s been sold, no official confirmation yet but it seems unlikely to have left for any other reason.

    Story on RailAdvent and press releases circulating confirming it has been sold to an undisclosed buyer, and other disposals are being considered.
