    "What will it pull?" Well given that the real one on the Middleton can struggle with two coaches (converted BR PMVs) on wet rail up to the Park (which is admittedly 1 in 49 at its steepest point) then not much more than that really. These were designed as light yard shunters, not to take 30 HAAs over Ais Gill!! I'm sure it will be a great model of a widespread prototype - looking forward to it!

    I received my subscription copy of Model Rail yesterday and was delighted to see the news about the Sentinel! As a working member of some years at the Middleton Railway I have had many happy experiences with 68153 in South Leeds. I would personally have a BR liveried 'Departmental Locomotive No.54'. We are currently compiling a book at the Railway to celebrate 50 years of preservation in 2010 so we have many photos of 'the potting shed' in action if you need any. Since restoration in the late 1980s the loco has actually carried several livery variations and has visited several sites away from Moor Road. Off the top of my head I can think of the East Lancs, Embsay, NYMR and Padiham Power Station. It carried a 68153 'smokebox' plate for some time too, see: http://www.middletonrailway.org.uk/rollingstock/68153.htm It has run as Departmental Locomotive no.54, No. 7, 471xx (can't remember exact number but this was for a photo charter) but always with the cycling lion crest (which was hand painted). It has never carried the later British 'Lion' Railways crest to my knowledge. In the 1960s and 1970s it always ran as plain number 54 or 59. If you need any more information or photos please don't hesitate to get in touch. Unfortunately the locomotive is currently dismantled for restoration but still available for viewing at Moor Road. Best wishes Ian Dobson PS You may want to consider adding a cleaner leaning against the footsteps to push uphill - I have seen this happen on wet rails at Middleton! The loco also carried a 'Deltic Preservation Society' headboard on it's first outing in preservation in the late 1980s, the first group to charter it!
