Non for me this time.

No pre-tops blue ones. A shame really, has they did carry those 

numbers half of their working life.

I wonder why they have gone into the 70s again.

When we still have no class 61-65s yet ?

Out on the motorbike in 2010

Didn't Fran say earlier that the D4xx will have removable plates and MU cables in the accessory pack? 

It was a Question i asked a while back.

But cant recall seeing any answer.

may have just missed it.

And all i wanted was a D4xx with MU cables.

Yes, But thats a proper Big Mac

Fran.

Can i ask, Will D423 come with just blanking plates, on the front, that we can fit.

Its just so if you did want 1 with the /MU jumpers you could fit them your self from the little plastic bag.

But then begs the question, you would have to do MU jumpers in both colours ( ie orange & dark grey)

the question being did D423 operate with orange or grey boxes, in the early days.

Looks like a new set of lights for 563

at Midland Rd 14-11-22

I wounder if they had gone by the early 70s, when we would go on a Saturday to Watch the Deltics 

come through the centre roads.

Forgive my ignorance but where is the stone terminal at St Pancras.  Nice to see the 59/2's. I saw them at Ferrybridge when they first arrived.

According to the original Flickr caption, it`s 2x08 + 2x12 = 40.

You can actually see the difference in the cab roof profile, of the last 2.

When going onto a column you always need to have visual markers of where to stop the cab opposite depending on which loco and which way round you are. It seems at least at Sidmouth Junction that something extra was done to help drivers, I assume when the class 2's and 3mt tanks were introduced which were brand new compared to the M7's they had for decades before. 

 

 

Looks like Micky Rooney, At the side of the water tower.
