D826 Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Great picture inside Swindon Monty. I hope the two gents were able to find employment when they closed the works in 1985. Best regards Matt W 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can anyone elucidate? Depends which list you look at. There's about 90 listed as "Active or general use mainline operational" at wnxx.com But that doesn't differentiate between active preserved/active industrial/actually allowed outside of depots onto the mainline And there are quite a few others listed as preserved/under repair/restoration/industrial user/stored. Probably looking at 170 or so still in existence in one form or another. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
