Much as I love the C class and how great it would be to see it leading...
How does the heater compare to a modern NR or the EL heater at 1am?
Who decides what loco should lead and how much do the train crew have in that decision?
Go George.

In the classic case of leaving something a week too late, a Friend and myself wanted to do a basic walkaround and measure the C at Seymour, for making a miniature replica.
OH well I hope we can visit it next time it does find it's way back to it's home.
Still great to hear that the loco is out and doing what it has always done best.......
Regards,
David Head
