BEWARE! Pernickity pickiness coming...

I don't have a best loco as I've never made or even designed one. I've never modelled one either. SOOOO... I've assumed you mean favourite loco in which case I've gone for the old Deltic. What a marvellous beastie.

Pernickity pickiness over.

But you can't have done because they don't have any votes yet!

GODDAMNITALLTOHELLINAHANDBASKET!

Fodz shows his lack of railway skills for all to see again! Yes I got my 50s and 55s all mixed up on that one for cryin' out loud.

That's it... I'll never be able to show my face at a meet. I'll have to double-up on the memberships and meet as the other person. Right... where's all those photos of women stored then, I'll make friends here somehow or other...

;)

Oops sorry erm I thought it was more polite to tell you than not!

But the class 50 is a good choice too!

That's OK Kev... I'll stay as I am though as there aren't any pretty female pirate avatars in Matt's store-room (yet

).

If someone wants to vote for a 50, can they tick the 55 box please and that'll cancel my ineptitude.

of those choices, I think i've only actually been on a 47 and 47s are the only ones I see regularly (well, not that regularly any more!) so I had to go for that!

I reckon the 50's were coal-fired by the amount of **** that came out of them

I luv 'em though .... but 'Western's more
