A fine beast Les. These ran on the West Highland line originally according to my old locospotters book!

Les Auld: Probably why I did not see any of them in the North of England. Thanks for the comment.

With a name like that that it cant help but be magnificent when the overhaul is done, you will have to post an image when they have finished Les

Les Auld: One day Zed, when I finally see it running. Thanks for the comment.
