the penguin of doom Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 Hi Phil. Have a look earlier on in the book. I'm almost certain there's a picture of her in Crewe works, maybe on the frontspiece, she's standing next to a little platform and is sparkling. If the picture is not in that book, I can't think where it is, but it certainly seems like the one you mentioned above. Cheers. Sean. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There may well be some others Here's 393 in Blue with Maroon coaches, no date unfortunately. http://www.flickr.com/photos/40025/5849236894/ 352 in Blue 1969 http://railphotoprints.zenfolio.com/p692212777/h2b741723#h2b741723 Edited January 9, 2014 by stovepipe Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DIRTY DIESEL Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Nice looking but sound not particularly thrashing at speed - ripe for a re-blow me thinks!... Was thinking the same, unless its just You Tube It does n't seem to have that top end thrash like my older Bachy Howes chipped one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidM Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Sounds like the SWD 40 project, which would make sense considering the parentage of Bachmann's 20/25/37/47 sounds... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
