    My favourite railway is the Southern, but I too have a soft spot for the Manors, even though I was only a nipper when the occasional member of the class would have passed within earshot of our house in Dorking on the Reading-Redhill line.

    Since you asked for some pictures, this is my best attempt to date - 7812 leaving Bewdley in April this year. With the maroon set, it has quite a "Cambrian" feel to it. I hope you like it

    Happy to post this photo of Lydham Manor on the DSR although to avoid this thread turning into a photo album can I suggest you open a Manors thread for pictures in:
