    The Sweeney (what was the loco?)

    I watched an episode this afternoon and about halfway through something goes howling past but you don't get to see it. It sounds like a loco hauled or possibly a thumper. It's back on ITV4 tonight at 7pm if anyone fancies a guess Alan

    Having to pay for something you don't need.

    I have some friends in the truck and van business and recently they did a job for one of the utility companies.

    45/1 performance on overnight load 12+

    I remember in the late 70s or early 80s being on a merrymaker to Blackpool. An ex works Peak was on the return run don't know if it was a 45 or 46 but it left York like a bat out of hell and was thrashed all the way to Darlington. We were used to Deltics and 47s but it seemed a lot faster. Alan

    Class 70s - where have they reached?
