Micky, 70000 hauled the royal train last month, so it has the (dare I say very nice) white cab roof from that. The roof is to be painted black this month, unfortunately.

Ay up!

Apparently "Driver Wales" may have been active on the run. He was certainly on the footplate for part of it....
If I ain't here, I'm in Bilston, scoffing decent chips at last!!!!
