The first is on 1st June 1963 and she's on a down Bournemouth relief. A very hot day when we had cycled from home in Shirley, near Croydon. The second clearly shows the Giesel ejector as 34064 clears the summit with the 1054 Waterloo to Swanage on Saturday 4th August 1962. Many thought that this loco was as good as a Merchant but I am not so sure. I had some good runs with it but not much above good light pacific standard. ...

Someone asked whether or not 35019 French Lines CGT had black nameplates because he'd been told by an ex driver that the loco always had black nameplates and therefore the 4mm scale nameplates he'd bought were incorrect. I've seen video footage of a rebuilt 35019 with red plates but can anyone confirm that 35019 ran with black ones? particularly before rebuilding? I have seen video footage of 34028 Eddystone with ...

No surprise as I only had two short runs behind her. But she is standing out at present as a loco that responds to being worked hard. She came under the first over bridge out of Alton making a wonderful noise last Saturday. Very obvious fast acceleration with six on before the crew had to ease back because of the overall speed limit!

Apparently this fab loco is due to go in for overhaul (Being the MHR 'Flagship loco') next year. She will apparently need a new firebox from what I understand? And is apparently going in either next year or early 2011?

I've heard great things about this loco from the 60's.. What was her best run?
