    TRIVIA - What's your birth loco?!

    being born in 1962 i thought i may be in for a cracking loco but all i can find built on my birthday is 2 class 08s but one was constructed at Horwich which is only 20 miles away so i suppose that is a tangible link i can be thankful for.

    An Amusing Postcard — An A4 at Barmouth!

    funny as I always get mildly irritated by the Wigan Central Real Ale Bar (underneath Wigan North Western Station) window graphics showing an A4! I know A4s have been through Wigan since privatisation but surely it could have been a stanier loco.

    Favourite individual trains

    55003 Meld - felt like I saw it every time I visited York or Kings Cross. It even came through Preston on an excursion to Blackpool in the early 80’s I seem to recall. 47444 always seemed to be around preston from what I remember.

    I leave london today to head north but still after any news of 165029, 395010 and 450125. I was kindly informed the class 450 was on Clapham yard yesterday but I couldn’t see it, but it’s impossible to identify units at the country end of the sidings. Again, any help would be greatly appreciated.
