Of course I love the locomotives,but you guessed that already,excellent detail on the running gear of the West Country Class. An interesting story about what you can do with 6 grand and a helpful bank manager: http://www.southern-locomotives.co.uk/eddystone-restoration.html cheers Douglas BTW,For train geeks and anoraks 80078 must be a Standard Class 4MT 2-6-4T, the most powerful tank engine ever built for BR in the early 50's. I took loads of shots of her sister, 80135,up at the NYMR last year pulling heavy 8 coach trains up the gradient from Grosmont to Goathland (Hogwarts Station, for Harry Potter fans). The M7 is a much older,early 1900's, and much smaller 0-4-4 side tank,there are only two preserved, one on static display at the NRM in York, and 30035 under steam at Swanage after having been brought back to the UK after 20 years in the USA. This is the kind of rubbish you have to keep on record if you want to try and sell railway pictures - I have reams of it.
