Used to see them quite a bit around Eastleigh along with the Class 33's stationed there.

Went to Watercress line on the weekend with my 18 month old for her first train journey (by steam no less!) They had a Class 50 - 048 (lion I think) fully painted up in NSE livery. Always my favourite when I was but an 11 year old train spotter (blame uncles influence who's made a career out of railway memorabilia!)
I'm still driving the memorabilia

Think I've seen that film.

By that token, I'm not looking forward to Saturday.

That's the one! See the mull of Galloway? Totally clear of snow. Meanwhile the rest of us were slipping and sliding on packed ice for about a bloo*y month, that was when we had one of those realllllly cold long spells.
