Certainly do....something like the last loco built in Swindon in 1960...Evening Star, is as sexy as bird of that age.

Went down to Kemble to see it tonight, it was 4472, Dominion of South Africa (I think). Got some decent shots as it was halted at Kemble 'cos an hst was running late on the single line from Swindon!http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/1c/LNER_Class_A4_60019_Bittern.jpg/300px-LNER_Class_A4_60019_Bittern.jpg LNER Class A4 60019 Bittern.

Title: Re: FAO Reg Post by: ronnie21 on Friday, July 8, 2011, 06:54:25 Ooh post up the pics Ronnie :) I was only going on what was advertised. Yeah, I was surprised when it pulled in Reg and wasn't Bittern!! Looked resplendent in a blue livery, not sure how to post pics though. Will have a go tonight!Title: Re: FAO Reg Post by: Samdy Gray on Friday, July 8, 2011, 07:01:58 What is this, train porn?

Looked resplendent in a blue livery, not sure how to post pics though. Will have a go tonight! Once Bittern, twice shy ? Bittern twisted ? Title: Re: FAO Reg Post by: Ginginho on Friday, July 8, 2011, 07:43:43 What is this, train porn? It's getting quite steamy in here! Title: Re: FAO Reg Post by: Coca Fola on Friday, July 8, 2011, 12:57:47 Once Bittern, twice shy ? You're not even funny. Please stop.Bittern twisted ? Title: Re: FAO Reg Post by: horlock07 on Friday, July 8, 2011, 13:04:21 Just to clear up all the exitement it was Bittern, just she is running in blue as 4492 -Dominion of New Zealand at the moment - I think its all to do with charity relief for the earthquake or something.
Title: Re: FAO Reg Post by: Samdy Gray on Friday, July 8, 2011, 15:11:56 "She"? It's a fucking train!
Title: Re: FAO Reg Post by: donkey on Friday, July 8, 2011, 15:17:35 "She"? It's a fucking train! Chuffing great train though. Title: Re: FAO Reg Post by: Reg Smeeton on Friday, July 8, 2011, 16:00:14 "She"? It's a fucking train! Never heard the phrase "she goes like a train".....not she goes like a London bus, or an Austin A 40. Trains are sexy.

Thanks for that 07, had it confirmed to me by an enthusiast, apparently due to stay in blue livery until the end of 2012 when its future is a bit up in the air as the boiler ticket will run out then.Title: Re: FAO Reg Post by: horlock07 on Sunday, July 10, 2011, 09:32:01 "She"? It's a fucking train! I was bought up to call them 'she' by my dad who worked in the factory in Swindon - I believe they are all called she as they were unpredictable and cantankerous!

My first car was an Austin A40, classic pale blue with a black roof. |
