@Warbonnet - Yesterday you said; Look out for more pics in the coming days... [sic] - is today not one of those days?

PS. Not being impatient or anything like that but I am in the twilight years of my life and I've little else to get up for.

I think Fran seems to be Class 37 busy today!😂

Hate to ask this before the current models even arrive but... 

Will there be a possibility of the two A classes that ran preserved on the mainline being released in model form? (A3r and A39).

I think that the IRM model of A39R is in her current preserved livery?

Although, yes, it would be lovely to see her in her nineties silver livery when IRM do a re-run!

😂

It’s a heavily disguised A class for a late 60s movie contract - Darling Lili - starring a very poorly J15, No 184, which could manage enough steam to make an impression but not move very much. The A was disguised to provide starting and stopping power. I understand it worked some service trains in this guise in between takes.

Think the loco was A16.

Even the far cab on this side of that photo was still in IR livery. It's a real pity it never ran in service like that. It would make a great model.

The amazing thing is that even after seeing that hideous paint scheme full size, the management ordered it for the 201s anyway. They would have looked a million times better in tippex.
