I was talked out of becoming a Driver at 17 by a friend's Dad and I went into the BR Engineering side instead. Regretted it ever since.

or even 321 which is what they remind me of ................... Seeing that graffiti makes me glad I experienced the SNCB when it was interesting and not suffering from that kind of issue became so prevalent .................

No, I think he's always done that 🤣 On an unusual note - my local High street in Crewkerne now has a NEW (general) model shop !!!!!!!!! 🤞🙏 it's a success

I really wouldn't get too hung up on this issue - the "Return to" markings would still be on the wagons long after the particular traffic finished and from observation remained on wagons into internal user use / the end of their lives. i.e Internal user @ Boston Dock

ISTR said combo was involved in the Staines West branch recovery works ??

So would that be partially cleaned RHTT duty weathering ?

Me - I'm thinking - thank God I can have 25155 now without getting the Heljan one and needing to do something about that awful weathering it emerged with 😬

Time to archive this thread ?

Oh look - dark inky blue 👍 (sorry OT)

Even allowing for the vagaries of AGFA - it's a darker blue - might have been the only one like it but it's darker

Nevertheless that is proof such dark rail blue exists

Even the guy cleaning the toilets at Cape Canaveral was helping to put a man on the moon ......................... 👍

Someone will do bitumen TTA tank soon I'm sure ............................

R4973 & R4973A blue too dark ? Not after seeing this - that's as inky as it gets - it's not the exposure either - compare the blue of the vehicles beyond the bridge - they're more Bachmann blue.
