Last year was expensive for me with the Blue Pullman and going digital but that's nothing like what my next door neighbour spent on freezing through the winter at Goodison! At least my railway room is warm and dry.

This fascinating thread has shown me that you can weather a 16 tonner almost any way you want ant it will be likely prototypical!

Also I am enjoying the huge variety of photos which are justified by having at least one mineral wagon somewhere on the pic!

In the days of steam I saw all manner of locos at Wilmslow on running-in turns from Crewe. Britannias and Duchesses spring to mind and I even saw a Clan, but were diesels ever run-in like this?

I am looking for a plausible excuse to run one of these fabulous models. It has leap frogged to the front of my wanted diesel list,ahead of 10001 ~(which I saw on the Mancunian with its twin)! I remember seeing the first Crewe batch under construction at the works so I guess that will have to do!

Well done Dave
