surfsup Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 (edited) An appropriate picture for todayβs news as, Thanks to Porterbrookβs generosity,Β 43159 has now joined 43102 in Preservation. This now means that both world record holding power cars are preserved - 102 with the NRM and 159 with the 125 Group.Β Β Here it stands with 43192 (and 43041 in the distance) at Reading on the 4th of February 2019. https://www.125group.org.uk/porterbrooks-generous-donation-completes-hst-story-showcase/?fbclid=IwAR1S5_xKprvEDVgWQu5G67NkBpaX8FO9P8Q6Lu0hI6xmjpg6WxrU396kmx0 Β Edited June 20, 2021 by surfsup 12 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
