The perils of restoring vehicles that have previously been in "corporate" hands, I'm afraid. And that's just the 432, I've got to do it all over again with the Abbot. Mind you, I've got two tonnes of scrap steel already, so there should be a nice little earner at the end of it.
I don't know how you are off for track, but Hirst's seemed to have some NOS CVR(T) track in stillages the other day?
