[Cowley]

Steam train? I have no clue with steam... Castle Class?

It’s always funny dropping kettle into this thread.
I love a Castle (or any ex GWR design actually), but it ain’t that.
Far more R1...

I’m going electric- 76?

I’m going electric- 76?

Tornado?

Close.
I’m holed under the Water Line...

Could we have a clue?

Yes indeed. It’s big, it’s green and you’ll have heard of it.
