Hi Bruce

 

Love the DRS scene...and any of their loco??™s...

Nice to see it safely delivered and all works well...

The DRS coach where did you get them from or who made them and can you get any more coaches, my Brother and I went on a DRS tour early last year and they had these coaches and they look great with a Pair of 37??™s...?

 

Keep the photos coming through?

Thanks again

Jamie

Hi Bruce,

 

I can't believe you've got an outing lined up for it already !

 

Best of luck mate, from experience, I can say you'll have a brilliant time with it - although I preferred operating from the front when I could.

 

Looking forward to more pictures......and yes......I do miss it in a way but am very pleased it's gone to a 'good' home.

 

Kindest Regards,

 

Dave
