      Congrats. P6s are not often seen now, so another one back on the road will be great. One of the P6 prototypes, the Talago, sold at auction recently for £18k!

  12. Just got back from the GCR 'Eastern Region' gala... feel a sudden urge to purchase black steam locos that have numbers starting with '6'... make it stop!

      wiggoforgold

      Sounds perfectly healthy to me. I think you should be more worried if you don't have that urge.

  17. Had a cab ride into Paddington today for the first time since 1985... a very strange feeling...!

  18. Found my mojo but got no models to do... must rectify the situation ;-)

  19. RMWeb - can't keep up, can't keep away, can't remember where I've posted or where I read what but by the cringe it's a grand place to be just lately... ;O)

  20. Thinking of buying some shares in Autoglym - the new (43 year old!) Rover eats polish...!

  21. Thinking of buying some shares in Autoglym - the new (43 year old!) Rover eats polish...!

  22. Thinking of buying some shares in Autoglym - the newly acquired Rover eats polish...!

  24. Really good to see D7017 on the Glos & Warks this morning, warmed the cockles of the heart so it did...
