RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted March 20, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 20, 2018 There was a time when the railroads would trade-in their knackered units for new ones. As one picture caption put it, going back to the factory where you were made was kinda like driving to your own funeral. And bits might be re-used, particularly trucks (bogies in UK-speak) so knocking a bit more off the price. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
