    May very well do. There could be a series in it... or maybe not. I think the number of exciting situations a BR Standard Class 7MT painted black could participate in are pretty limited, particularly if you still want a locomotive at the end of it! Maybe a remake of The Train?

    That's not Britannia, it's a portcullis, you need an old pre decimal penny for Britannia!

    LOL - but I don't think Sheff's old enough to have that sort of money in his pocket!

    Indeed it did, with eight assorted livery carriages behind and a 67 at the back on tickover.

    Not holding back on the test run looking from that video! Sounding pretty good but sounding good and performing good are two different things. Let's hope all is well once arrived at Bristol & the WSR.
