Once they started painting the cab window surrounds a different colour it was much improved. For example, the original HST livery was excellent....
Full yellow panels were (IMO) an aesthetic disaster.
Quite true.
Fairly bleak, I imagine. In the past maybe the NRM would have stepped in to claim some of the more interesting vehicles, but those days are over....
The situation with the Electric Railway Museum is sad and desperate. It is an example of what can happen to artefacts that are preserved in the...
Maybe 35029 can be de-sectioned. And then de-accessioned. Personally I would like to section the Bullet Train. :)
If someone wants to build a Claughton then good luck to them. I suspect that these guys are genuine, but very naïve about attracting...
