Can’t half spot its Lancaster DNA, can you???

It is remarkable that what was, essentially, a Lancaster Mk 3 served on into the 1990s.

Also odd, was that they got steadily better-looking as they were modified over the years.

They also kept some interesting company

They had other interesting company that was less welcome - WR986 was written off due to a rat infestation.

I was on that train - all the carriages were still in NIR ownership and in traffic (and would be for about 4 more years). All were in the NIR maroon livery with grey stripe bar one, which was still in UTA green. I was in the coach behind the loco, which along with the third coach were the last two survivors of the "Atlantic Coast Express" coaches built in 1934 by the NCC for Belfast-Portrush expresses. Shared a compartment with the late Mac Arnold that day - an interesting man. And I'm somewhere in among that group of photographers.... 1970.

It seems to me that it should be fairly easy to have convincing sound effects, both inside and outside the vehicle.

Almost like DCC sound is, but with a bit more 'scale and depth'.

I'm gonna make my car sound like a TIE fighter then!
