37708 rescues failed Merlin HST, Llandevenny 7/5/99

[flammabletube]

Maybe I am wrong but if the front engine broke why could not the rear engine run in reverse ??? or is that too simple for management

[tom201090]

@flammabletube it has been done (with difficulty) but maybe the pressure on the engine would be too much or something like that. Much easier to use a good ol' 37

class 43: HA your obsolete

class 37: *sad face*

class 43: i think my engine just failed

class 37: *smirks* do you need some help?

LOL

[CoronationClass]

@steamfandan Hear, hear!

[Sephy69]

the rear powercar was working i think

[TheXtremeEnthusiast]

awesome!!

[cornishadz]

I know it maybe reconized now but if not its the first livery Great western used when 1st privatised

[amosbriz]

That green & white Merlin livery was so much smarter than the garish 'Barbie' colours they have now... what happened to the idea of classy liveries??

[bronzeonion]

i agree, but because of those bloody regulations the doors have to be a bright colours making it impossible to make a decent livery

[cjmillsnun]

Not so, I think Grand Central's livery is classy

[bronzeonion]

well yeah, but would be classier if the doors were black aswell, youd have the whole set elegantly fly past at speed!

[robmasterman]

Another rare capture well done 5*
