    I thought Peter Rampton hated the VoR locos in BR blue. He will be spinning in his grave!

    Personally I don't mind as it brings a bit of variety.

    Gwalior NM class 4-6-2 No 760 WB2453-32 4.4.71 B.JPG In April 1971 the engines I photographed were black with a green cab sides and tender with white lining. As per the photograph of 760 above. I understand NG World will feature the Gwalior in the August issue.

    I had some correspondence with him some time ago, and he said he wanted to rebuild the L&BR in Devon, but the local councils were opposed to his idea at the time, which makes you wonder what could have happened if things had been different
