Fantastic!! The modern railway is so boring compared to even 15 years ago

even 6 or 7 years ago when the mk3s, mk2s, cravens, cement trains and the rest were all still there!

You're right Vincent, there was still a fair bit of freight traffic 6 or 7 years ago on the network. Unfortunately it was the end for beet traffic around that time though. As Bos has said the railway is pretty boring now, but at least we can recreate those times with our models and that's what counts.
