Will sort something out when i return to God's country. Thanks for your help too. stuart

Thanks co-tr-paul. I am terrible with names. Man at gate said he was a proud Scouser. Boss man did tell me his name - but it now eludes me. He introduced me to the Depot Manager - so "Boss man" was not the manager. Please thank them both for me - both proper gents. And sorry to you all...

I hope nobody minds me asking this question in my first post.......! I am hoping to "find" class 57 602 while i am in sunny Cornwall - in the next week. Down from "less sunny" glasgow with my lovely wife and she has "given permission" for me to go loco hunting. i did the train spotting thing...
