Marvellous!....I love old trains...and no I aint a train spotter...

But, there is something about older technology that just tugs the heart strings.....this is one of them.

Thanks for sharing.. :thumbup:

Wow, I see one of those all the time at the Shildon railway museum. I'm not a train spotter either but I might have to go and try to catch a glimpse of that in action! Cheers  :thumbup:

Wow indeed, I remember seeing and feeling them thundering past my dads old wooden signal box in the summer holdays, when I was a kid way back in the 70's.

Hi All

Does anybody have any idea on how long this loco was put back into service?

Cheers  :beer:
