    Well that’s one class 60 saved, 60086 at Leeming Bar now

      Could well be, as Harry does have connections to the Wensleydale. There's been very little info release so far as to who owns them and what their purpose will be, but one will at least be "restored".

      086 now has some company, as it's just been joined by 60050 at Leeming Bar now. So 3 in Pres in a matter of weeks.

      Just piped to it by 60081 I believe, although it's more likely 086 will be a runner than Isambard will be.

    Have any European class 66's ever visited the UK?

      As mentioned above, GBRf has at least 2 if not 3 I believe at Progress Rail Services (Longport) undergoing gradual conversion back to British standards too. Both I believe were used in Sweden.

      I can trump either of those two, on the Royal Mile in Edinburgh you will currently find the Royal Mile Whisky's, The Fringe festival and... a Fully Stocked Christmas Shop with Christmas music blaring out!

    Is it actually possible to sit comfortably on a class 700 seat?

    1. surfsup

      surfsup

      In standard class, Yes. In first class however, no. Bodes well for the 800s as that horrible piece of 'seating' is their standard class seat!

      Could be worse, the state of some of ScotRails is appalling (the ex Nat Ex & Wessex examples), while Northern's isn't much cop either.

    Save pounds on expensive sound decoders for your class 66/67 diesels. Simply go on google translate, type in a load of 'A's & click on the loudspeaker icon....

    1. surfsup

      surfsup

      Nice. Try ARARARARARARARARARARARA in translate sounds even more 66 like. And weirdly thinks your writing in Hindi. Or Polish.

    Has just drunk a bottle of Sharpe's Doom Bar brewed in Burton on Trent-A long way from Rock in North Cornwall! :-@

      I've stopped with Sharps now which is a shame as Atlantic is one of my favorites. They've started to admit it on some bottles - Sea Fury (rebranded Special) now admits it's brewed in the very Cornish location of Burtonwood, lancs.

    For a good example of how easily "fast and frantic" becomes "disjointed and messsy" compare the first half of the Calcutta Cup with the second half. And how long will Owen Farrell keep on getting away with high tackles before he either gets red-carded or decapitates someone?

    1. surfsup

      surfsup

      I've never really understood the fascination around Farrell. Overrated and Overhyped more like! There are more players out there with flair and I feel better game making skills than him.

      Erm. I might actually have that, and the modified HST vehicles. And a correct Night Riviera set. And maybe I wonder why I don't actually have as much money as I thought...
