What A sight

Started by: TerryW (inactive)



An A1 class 60163 Tornado locomotive “The Mad Hatter” flying through Wigan North Western. I bet that was spectacular sight.

I'm not a train spotter or anything like that but I like the beauty of these engines. I would have liked to see it going through the station though.

yea, its not just the beauty of the sight, its the sound,the smell,the atmosphere,the nostalgia that takes us back for a moment when Britain built these monsters to transport goods and people around the country, A time when Britain produced goods, Now we don't produce anything, We buy plastic objects from China that don't last,

your plastic pipes the very best of the best are Hep20 and are guaranteed for 50 years, the next best are john guest and are guaranteed for 25 years, all the rest give tail light guarantees, which means when the plumbers van tail light is out of sight, the guarantee is as well,

Those meals from the Chinese don't last very long either, half an hour later you're hungry again.
