At least there wasnt a diesel (class 37 or worse a class 67) on the back.

Hmm. Guess the long-long-short-long rule doesn't apply here, correct?

[Christopher125]

nope, its drivers discretion although modern traction have two-tone horns of which both can be used

[fafnir242]

Okay.  I ought to brush up on British railroading.lol

[fafnir242]

I just realized the whistle kind of sounds like a chocobo call from Final Fantasy VII.lol I'm not making fun of how the whistle sounds, since I'd be willing to bet it'd sound absolutely astounding if the engineer laid on it. I'm just commenting that's what this particular bit sounds like.

What a beautiful train! Where exactly is this? Wish you guy's were a little more aggressive on the whistle. Thx.

It's on the line between Salisbury and Romsey which then goes on to Southampton - the county of Hampshire - central, southern England.

[1961sd]

THX. Was this a special excursion?

[edwardianeccentric]

I wish they'd pain 850 up in the dark green (not the Olive) the Southern used in some cases before the war. I bet they won't because it wouldn't be authentic with the big chimney- but I don't know what thy're worrying about with Flying Scotsman in the state it is!

Nothing wrong with Malachite green at all. Far better than hideous BR experimental blue.
