Some of the staff may have moved on but as LJ needs to survey his new area of control (or hiding places), This morning he travelled by train to Oldbrook Junc and was having a look around and who should he start chatting to at the Level Crossing........ Didn't take long for him to be rubbering shoulders with the power's to be, it's only Winston Churchill. 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew P Posted August 1, 2021 Author Share Posted August 1, 2021 I had half an hour to spare, when I got to Eastleigh, so went onto Platform 3 for a quick look around. 37425 was on the Autoballaster, but switched off. This was the best I could manage with the zoom on my little pocket camera. 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
