The previous issue of Trackside (or one of the other mags) mentioned that Mayflower was going to be the first LSL steam loco to have ETCS fitted. So I doubt it is near the end of its ticket if it's first for that.

I personally like it when railways have a few locos facing the other way to most of the fleet it gives chances for different shots that you'd usually not get. Sticking with Bluebell. It's a shame that a shot like this one is only possible with...

I must admit, I was a bit disappointed to read of the plans to turn 80151 to face north. Facing south does offer opportunities away from the more popular spots for north facing engines. However, a trawl through my photos made me realise that...

Ah yes Lipra Loof if I recall, City of Truro was actually painted on the right hand side in BR livery for the Photo shoot the previous October at Bridgenorth. When the story broke in the April 1985 Steam World and the "Fire works" took off 3717...

I think that a stylish machine line the T3 would look good in any livery - within reason!
