    If you haven't seen it, someone is taking the "Michael"(polite term) out of you elsewhere.

    I would take it as a compliment... Always amazes me how many people who left here and take great pleasure slating this forum elsewhere seem to take great interest in what's happening here.

    Any truth to the rumour that 45699 is really 44932's alter ego...
    neither have been seen together and 44932 has been known to be green before...

    "That" picture a few weeks back showed 5690 sans boiler in the background.
    it could always be 45699 with 5690's boiler, or 45562 come back to haunt us :)

    Love it, or maybe Galachillesberta. Given the number of Stanier bits going into the Patriot project perhaps it should be The Unknown Jubilee :0

    Dashing for me coat right now...
