    May very well do. There could be a series in it... or maybe not. I think the number of exciting situations a BR Standard Class 7MT painted black could participate in are pretty limited, particularly if you still want a locomotive at the end of it! Maybe a remake of The Train?

    Not holding back on the test run looking from that video! Sounding pretty good but sounding good and performing good are two different things. Let's hope all is well once arrived at Bristol & the WSR.
