Kirk Cousins needs to get his mojo back, it seems. It certainly didn't seem to be present at our first game (Falcons). The defense also needs to get itself together. It just felt uncoordinated.
09 009 looks like the one for me. Doesn't appeared to be weathered though, and £349.95 is lower than quoted above, and it's one of only two 09s in the list linked to and neither appear to be weathered versions...?
Function only. It would take a manufacturer / commissioner to order up rather a lot of them to get the economies of scale working so that they would be cheap enough to be viable for modellers to consider.
Wagons with individual DCC remote coupling control so that they can be uncoupled anywhere on a layout, and also with a 'brake' so they can't roll away...
Well, hopefully B will do the one version of the 09 H never did afaik - original, banger blue with no livery adornments, high level pipes. Essential for any BR(S) layout of the later 70s and early to mid 80s.
It could be worse. You could think everyone is a Londoner with a red post box, red telephone box and black taxi cab outside their house, a la various Hollywood movies, but especially the first Tom Cruise version of Mission: Impossible.
