    I found these videos on youtube of the overhaul of pannier tank 7715 taking place at the Buckinghamshire Railway Centre.

    Excellent stuff! Most interesting.

    I did notice at the end of episode 3, the comment that "The GWR made them all the same, so if you've seen one, you've seen them all...". Was he referring to the Gudgeon Pin assembly, or complete GWR Locos in general?

    Taxi's ready, engine's running... Where's me coat? No offence intended at all, GWR locos are just as nice as any other company's!:)

    Richard.

    Wasn't that the point? :confused:
    Mind you, I love seeing these Duck panniers puffing about, showing the other 3 regions what a proper engine can do! :D

    You forgot to quote the second part of my post. Humour...

    "The GWR made them all the same, so if you've seen one, you've seen them all...". Was he referring to the Gudgeon Pin assembly, or complete GWR Locos in general?
