I remember when I cleared my power cars (not just GW ones). I was having a few days away with my parents in the West Country, and I was sat on Dawlish Warren station on the Sunday with my dad, while my mum went to the pie shop to get something for dinner. In rolled 43011 heading to London on one of the few long-distance trains that stopped there. Suffice to say, I had a quick ride up to Exeter (I was back in about 40 minutes), and my dinner wasn't delayed much!
One that sadly most of us never got to have. I never knowingly got 43019 either, 173 was also gone before I joined the hobby. Very unlikely I'll ever get 43013, 014 or 062 as well! Still got 6 power cars to go on top of those, thanks to renumberings!
