I knew there was something wrong with that view. Took me a minute to figure out that the arrow is reversed ! Cheers, Phil. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrong side of the loco though for a Sealink reverse logo which always appeared on the port side of the funnel. It is the "starboard" side of the loco which is depicted and that should have an obverse logo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barclay Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 Thanks all - we went to Scarborough quite often and I did spend some time at the station while Mum and Dad were on the beach! That was a fantastic location back then - the summer traffic with 40/45/46/47, the odd 31 and the 03 station pilot shifting the coaches about. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southof1E top tmd Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 Whilst a few 08's can be seen in the London area it is unusual to see and hear these superb engines working. 08441 provides the deep, rumbling acoustics shunting Mk 4's at Bounds Green depot on June 12th 2018 NR 16 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
