Matt has credited Ian...

I can't say I noticed that... I meant Ian. Convoy passed Ealing Broadway 1804 with Victa's finest at the power handles . Anyone know what's in the consist for 5Z48 out of Old Oak? FGW Mk3s perhaps?

Convoy passed Ealing Broadway 1804 with Victa's finest at the power handles .

Last time I drove one there was only the one power handle in a spoon. Although that was a year or so ago so maybe they have been modded.

 

[RJ]

I'm sorry, I haven't driven any 47s lately funnily enough. Power handle, or just handles then.
