Wenlock liked LMS2968's post in the thread Fakeography.

Wenlock liked Enterprise's post in the thread Fakeography.

jnc liked Matt78's post in the thread The Gwili Railway thread.
No comment on the first line… the sensor on the wheel would not be good for some of our curves, incompatible with other stock, really need at least 2 units for spares and parts, lack of public appeal, were a few of the reasons that were...

Is it 'cos they is ****? :) (It's interesting that a few years ago there was a slew of Pacers going to preservation, and much excitable talk about how they were an ideal cheap motive power, historic vehicles worth preserving etc; and now those...
