Apart from the silly spoiler I love that

I can’t do the pre TOPS number, but was it 27059?

Your weathering is superb @4COR

I quite like the rakish look of it apart from the front really.

You’re absolutely right Mr Hill. Over to you to spark the next question.

I’m going to put a pause on things while everyone takes a moment to calm down. I’d rather we avoid a pile on here and starting to turn into that, so let’s everyone cool off for a couple of hours. Thanks

Thanks @Kentish RYS :) What two diesel locomotives arrived together after being purchased directly from BR, at Ropley on the Mid Hants Railway in 1985?

Well the Bluebell was famed for being entirely steam worked until fairly recently, so I guess some kind of diesel shunter towed the tram?

I think @D6130 is correct with the Sentinel, but I think it might have been hauling an old double deck tram of some sort? Edit - actually, scrub the Sentinel. I think it might’ve been an 0-6-0 saddle tank called Hardwalton or Sharlwalton or something similar?

Ok. I think we can probably move on now that things have been clarified above. Thanks :)

That is such a nice looking loco

That looks really good. I had a feeling that the Mid Norfolk had a blue and grey set, but I don’t remember seeing when I visited there last weekend?

As the topic seems to have come up a few times, I thought it might be better to have a separate thread for funerals etc. Here it is: https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/funeral-arrangements-discussion.307612/
