Mister Gain 1,759 Posted January 9, 2016 Report Share Posted January 9, 2016 I remember seeing it in the electric shed at Stewarts Lane Depot just before it went for it's renovation, it wasn't in steam. Don't know why it had come onto the southern region. Used to get a rebuilt merchant navy class (Clan Line) in the lane very regularly as well, it used to do certain trips with the VSOE (orient express) stock, also used to see a West Country (can't remember which one) it was laid up at my depot for a few days after it dropped a plug and was waiting to be transferred by road for repair. Even had this A4 pacific turn up at the lane, that's the electric shed in the background. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
