Great pics, full of nostalgia for me as i started on the railways in 1970 as a signal lad in Bournemouth box

OK, There seem to be 2 different liveries, the standard Blue & White and also just Blue only rather like the preserved "Gordon Pettit"? Which I think the Bluebell Rail have or did have. Nice to see photos of these older trains, and I think many of those trains were nicer than some of the modern ones we have now. Sorry gone off topic.
