    It had been previously noted that USA look-alike 30075 was on the M42 east bound en route from East Somerset Railway to Mid-Hants Railway. Reason for circuitous route was caused by Thomas events at both railways so it went via haulier's depot!

    Is it me, or does 30075 have very little in common with other yankke tanks?

    The smokebox door is totally different to that of no.65 (kesr yankee tank) and where have those ladders on the front come from?

    The domes are also of a different shape.

    Shame it faces south though. Very little now faces north..........
