    I guess they'd be well Polish-ed.:D

    Apologies in advance.

    edit: looks like Tom beat me to it. Great minds think alike. Sometimes.

    I can't answer for India (or its loco sheds) but when I lived in Rawalpindi many years ago the monsoon drain across the road from our bungalow was used as a public toilet (and unisex at that). Monsoon season meant that it got an annual flushing!

    I can easily imagine - my dear wife was virtually born in a monsoon drain (fortunately dry at the time!)- her mother was accidentally pitched into one from a rickshaw accident in Malacca, the shock of which immediately induced her labour. A fairly unique way of entering the world!

    Does anyone else on here remember the "Embassy" down the bank in Llanfair Caereinion yard? Once visited never forgotten!

    Next, there should be a picture of 257 with its smokebox open, people in orange boiler suits round it, all looking for Marcia, it's here somewhere, driver, did you hear anything as you opened her up :)

    Sadly, it looks as though 257 may well be sulking tomorrow, and Sapper will be taking her place for one day.

    Apparently the raw power of Marcia ripped off 257's front headstock.

    I understand that the offending spring has been replaced, after a journey to Swanage and back to collect it. The loco has been re-weighed, and should be back in service by this Saturday.

    Can't open the file, but I get the idea from the thumbnail. Yes, definitely a summer of '85 moment. "Fire up the Quattro!"
    Never had a mullet, but I had enough hair for one, then. *Sighs wistfully*

    In their defence I can see how, in a small thumbnail, it may look like an early Quattro.

    Did Gene Hunt Commandeer the 33?
    Fire up the Crompton doesn’t exactly have the same ring to is as firing up the Quattro does it?
