If you say so......

I only ever look as a last resort.

Seems I'm the only one who enjoys the challenge!!

There is a guy in your local area who collects things like that. I can't remember his details currently but it will come back to me.

Its not me!

No, your the only one with nothing better to do.

Ha ha, good point, although I don't exactly obsess about it!!

Baldwin Mogul for a mere £27999.99!

Part No: R-91520

Not many would have money or space for that. Maybe good as a workhorse revenue earner on a large established track with plenty of visitors.

Neither, this would be nice though:

A positive snip at £2950!!

I see the night shift have been perving over diesels in my absence.

Of course, if I had the money and a place to keep and run it, I'd buy it in a shot!!

Teddy Bears were class 14s and were Diesel Hydraulics:

The Claytons were the class 17s, and weren't Hydraulics:

I'm pretty sure the Avon Valley Railway had a Teddy when I visited. Not on their list though, so maybe it was a loan.

Possibly the Class 07 or 'River Annan'?

LOL! I need to go to bed soon, then it's work in the morning.

By the way, the Station Road Steam archive is a great place for perving.

Ah yes! How silly I am! It was a long time ago, 8 years maybe, and all I could remember was the somewhat unusual central cab design!

Of course, a '14 might have been visiting at the time, I'd need to check
