If that's the case then if think we should start to address you as M'lord from now on then
Sir will do.

It should be God with your username...
I would accept God. I think Erm would be a better knickname for Robbie after the none word he repeatedly said in any interview. Ha ha. He's still a hero from my younger days though.
He was the man . The white line goal celebration still makes me chuckle.
Quality photos mate. First time I remember seeing D200 hundred was after getting off a service from Lime Street at Mossley Hill with my dad on platform 1 (A 304 I think) and D200 was cruising towards Liverpool through platform 4 light engine. I was very excited. I recall at the time the backdrop was a garage, which then became a bar and is currently a gym.
Thanks mate, thought you'd like them. Very much our era.
It's quite hard to believe that it's thirty years ago this year.
Wow. That's excellent Mr Bridge. I think it was running a bit late by the time it got to Exeter and with the long single line sections I imagine that it was pedal to the metal time to stay out of the way of the normal services.
Do you remember 50007 being there then? Unusual to have two green locos in Exeter at the same time bearing in mind neither were 47s...
Fowler 9 - It could be 56053, I'll try and work it out tomorrow.
I'll try and put a few more on tomorrow too.
I'm not sure if I've ever seen a 50 in the flesh, as it were. I've seen photos of them in Perth, but it was before my time, and I'm not sure if they ever made it further north than that.

049 and 031 made it to Wick and Thurso a few years ago. They even stuck Highland Rail logos on .
Not my photo (wish it was)

A few hellfire reads with photos there! Oh, how great it would be if it were still like that...
Ash Bridge - I certainly prefer the revised one too - the swish up the front looks pretty rubbish.
Thanks fq. You're right guys. The revised NSE is definitely the better livery but I've got a massive soft spot for the early one as it was such a surprise when I saw it on Royal Oak for the first time. Also the last remaining few in the original colours were proper scabby by the end and I like that kind of thing. Like 50032 in the picture at Barnstaple, it looks like it's been cleaning chimneys.
