Rugd1022 Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Had a veritable feast of 47 sightings today whilst working 6Z91 from Battersea to Crewe - dear old 'City Of Truro' past me on a stock move and when I arrived at Basford Hall one of the two tone green jobs came along the independant lines, I also saw D1935 on the depot looking extremely good with its original bufferbeam skirts intact. All very refreshing! 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
