    Are these due to be topped and tailed again this year with a diesel?

    On the normal santa its usualy a diesal on the front with the steam smoke box first at the rear resulting in tend first going north and diesel south, good news is the santa xtra's are just steam usualy smoke box facing south, on good day you will get 4 I think of those, not that we will be there due to some people have never heard of dogs who do not run around like mad and have no idea what a guide dog does.
