zoomer1979 Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Call me sacrilegious, but I think a new build would be great, but I think it should be an NBL diesel. The SRPS diesel group recently got an original NBL/MAN engine from a D6300 Class 22. Surely that's a major step to recreating and filling a major hole in Scottish Industrial Preservation?

RMweb Premium Dava Posted December 29, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 29, 2015 Still amazing to see how many pregrouping locos were around, if withdrawn, at this time, though the photo from Bo'ness earlier in this thread suggested this.

Mad McCann Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 I suppose by that time, a great many of those locos were already in store pending withdrawal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
