    Hi Neil. Great pics, & many thanks for putting them up.

    You might want to amend your post though, they were Class 23s...

    I'll put the 'pedant' hat away now ;)

    Cheers

    Nice change not to have someone slagging Neil off about his photos, usually with sarcastic "Deighton" comments. I find them very interesting, even diesel ones. Shows how much has changed even since the 70's & 80's.

    That guy never gives up, he is now trying to post direct to the website that it is "Deighton", does not leave his name though

    Hehe - happens to all of us, Neil

    I agree with buseng - it's great to see these older pictures; when all's said & done, it's not that long ago either...how things have changed, & not always for the better either.

    Keep up the good work

    Cheers

    Aah, he/she won't leave their name. Neil,.........haven't got the decency (or the guts) to do that. I enjoy the photos.

    Its sometimes good to look at them, although to me it would be better if there was a single thread in the 'Photography' section that was updated when the website was, rather than clogging up all of the other forums.

    Just a thought.

    Actually, just thinking aloud, & I'm certain that this has already been done before, but isn't the EE Type 2 pretty much the 'easiest' (ha ha ;) ) of the extinct 'Modernisation Plan' classes to recreate? There is the power unit already operational, of course, & I'm thinking that a Class 20 chassis & Class 37 bodyshell for much of the bodywork would be a good start. A big 'cut & shut', if you will...

    (dons tin hat & hides...)
