It is the old diesel depot, who'd have thought one of the stars of the show would be a Northern 142

 

If the rumours are to be believed, it will be the Northern 142 that's being reliveried into some sort of 'heritage' livery for its final year of operation before going off lease.

[Is anybody reading any of this?]

Yes Dave, I'm also out here and have been following your blog.

 

Problems with the shoebeams you say? I did wonder when I read your previous postings if anybody makes shoe beams specifically for 4REPs. I couldn't recall any manufacturer doing so. REPs were unique for BR(S) units in carrying two shoes on each shoe beam. Is that the issue that you were referring to?
