    Thanks Neil for the photos, there is something about the VoR locos in BR green which I think suite them to my eye.

    I also sometimes wonder what the L&BR lads would think if LYD turned up in either BR Green or BR Rail Blue at Woody Bay, I think it will happen at some stage once they have their own Manning Wardles to play with.

    Not to my knowledge :) . . . Prince of Wales ran the Santa Special trains on the Brecon Mountain Railway in 1990 I believe.

    A nice collection of pictures.

    Thanks for sharing!
