RMweb Gold big jim Posted January 11, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 11, 2017 (edited) Looks like I've got the DBSO later then Looking at the schedule it looks to be going round the triangle at earlestown so I may well have the 37 leading from Warrington, just don't know if it's turned anywhere else beforehand Edited January 11, 2017 by big jim Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Told you it was a stupid question, great thread and you've got yourself another devoted follower...doesn't mean we'll go & pick out curtains or anything. I'm a bit of a DRS fanboy but must say Colas comes a close second as far as what model loco's I buy, I am begging Hornby to do a special limited edition twin pack of the Colas 67's as they look stunning in the Colas livery or at least do one. Btw why did Colas rename 47749 Demelza to City of Truro??? Have to get my Vitrains Demelza renamed & re-liveried to Colas Rail Freight now... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
