RBE Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 I am buddy yes. The lockdown and cancelled exhibitions has allowed me to start getting the final bits of Burton on Trent sorted and all the stock finished, hopefully before next season. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NOT very nice...………...…………………......Bloomin gorgeous mate. I've been looking for a Blue or Scottish 26 to go with my 2 Scottish 37's, but this has got me thinking, especially as the Sound fitting will be easier. Do I feel Depot Layout coming on, a Sub Shed of Fratton or Eastleigh maybe? Just needs a couple of 50's now, haha. 2 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold PeterBB Posted June 29, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 29, 2020 (edited) Slightly off topic but whenever class 26 blue is mentioned it stirs a memory of the 60s on a fine day and the Oban Highland games with the crew siting on the rocks above eating their sandwiches - I can picture it now so thanks.
