Lovely to see, wasn't able to get over to see in person, so thanks for posting Ray. [A Fowler with a shiny smoke-box door is a first !]

silversteellady liked MellishR's post in the thread LTM Sarah Siddons & 1938 Tube Stock Metropolitan Line trips 24-26/7/26.
Interesting that it says "choose from three different routes along the Metropolitan line" if there's only Amersham-Harrow and back or Amersham-Watford and back. Maybe some of the runs do all three sides of the Watford triangle?

It's complicated so bear with me. The Mountain Spirit is always a double engine. The Quarryman is always a single engine usually Linda but Taliesin and Lyd feature occasionally. On days when the Mountain Spirit does two trips the Woodland...

silversteellady liked Flying Phil's post in the thread Windcutter Wagons.
