Rashspateen   10 #15 Posted March 31, 2009 What do they say about if you have nothing nice to say....? Thanks to the OP for sharing this information.It wasn't anything nasty that i said !! Surely Trainspotters have a sense of humour ?? Or maybe not !! I know I would have to posses a sense of humour if i was stood on a railway platform all day taking pictures of trains that I could just as easilly download from the net ?? The main point that I was making is that to say you spotters are so clued up on your numbers its a shame that the op could not even get such a Prolific name right.. Now that is SHABBY....

Shazbat   10 #20 Posted March 31, 2009 Assumed it must be running late cos I'm in an office near the station and at the very least should be able to see steam. Good job I couldn't go out for lunch early after all. Unfortunately it means I won't get to see them later either, but I'll look out for steam.

bus man   10 #21 Posted March 31, 2009 Now understand its due sheff 145 however bit worried as I havent seen any reports of it leaving york this doesnt mean it hasnt  Just a point this is a light engine movement * it is not intended for people to use or see its sole purpose is to get the loco where it needs to be for its next job ie the open day at barrow hill   * and before some one comments I know its got a support coach but its still a LE movement under rail track rules Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
