Slow running mineral freight tonight. Some dodgy coupling going on so strictly under the speed limit. #ngauge #class73 #class52 #westernduke And might need to raise council tax in Tiny Town, one of the street lights is out.

The far, far superior traction to everything (apart from the 56s, which are level pegging) that I've posted from May's haul so far!
A Class 52 'Western' of 1960s vintage with some equally vintage Class 20s. D1015 "Western Champion" is an absolute stunner! #classictraction #class52
