Ron the chap will not let go of it if you refer to Kevin Powles thread the images of it are there, they were a bit cagy even letting me take measurements from it. the remains of the engine are there and the road wheels are good on it 90% of the track is there and the track guards need replaced, top armour is there but the tub is otherwise bare.

I offered a massive sum of money to see if they could be "bought" on board, but the trustee of the carrier will NOT let it go and stopped all corespondance and would not return any of my calls. he made it very very clear that this was not for sale.


unless it was my Geordie accent which drove him up the wall, or he dispises Northerners (ie the bit of the Uk beyond Manchester )
