      If you want a clean one then you will need to go to a preserved railway or buy a Bachman or Hornby one!

      Grafarman

      I've got the Hornby one and wanted to add some weathering without destroying the overall 'black beauty' appearance... surely there must be pics of them somewhere on their first runs out...!!

      Impressive, thats why they were photographed, but clean...No one expected that. They may have been kept clean on the S&DJR...
