    Bring it on, can't say I've ever been impressed by a certain A3 in preservation when compared to A4 and Peppercorn designs.

    Hopefully after its recent light overhaul it'll have you eating your words ;)

    Just be sure you don't thrash a certain Doncaster product during that rematch - else its namesake will get all upset :D

    Ben,

    If you look at page 23 of the GB V thread it appears our friend was managing to share his wisdom with some old guy at TVP, presumably Tiverton Parkway but that must have been too difficult to spell. Quite how he managed this whilst riding on the train is a mystery to me.

    I think he is best left alone. I think that the young man might have bigger issues in his life than being a daft poster.

    Now. About this Kings Cross challenge. A very interesting idea.....

    Lastly, Anyone up for a trip to Scotland behind 5043 in a few weeks? I've got a few one-way seats if you don't want to do the full weekend.

    Now how about recreating the exchange trials - London - Edinburgh with the haulage split between a Castle and the A3 (mind you it'd have to be a single chimbley low superheat Castle or else we'd have to wheel out Tornado - fairs fair eh? ;) )

    Many thanks Stuart and Sheff for comments regarding pics. An additional thanks for noting the spelling error, oops, has now been altered. Must have been tired :)
