I thought this paring at Bristol Temple Meads was hilarious. I just imagined the HST opening up to 125mph with bits of the 08 flying off in all directions. On 12-Sep-1987

Well, Rivercider, I hope folks don't get fed up with them.

I used my photo of 786 to prove a point that you can doctor a photo of a loco to show that it all isn't what it looks - A super Gronk!

I've looked through the thread and seen that some photos have the 08 in the distance, so I've included some of mine, but I can delete them if not suitable. I have a lot more close-ups.

08492 reverses a rake of empties at Worksop on 26-Nov-1991. I can't make out if the buffer beam was painted black or covered in coal dust
