Hmmm....Advertising `wraps` eh..? -lets see what I can find........

O.K-Here is another class 158 (lot of them about lately) this time disguised as a Cornish pasty-and not a terribly good brand either (far too heavy on the black pepper,if you are interested)-This one at Aberystwyth,departing for Shrewsbury (At lunch time if you believe it.....)

P.S-best thing about F40ph wraps-it means they are leaving the `Budds` alone.............

-Yes-finally the memory returns-Was the Southern New England layout-one I always fancied building if I had the space,-pic is of a `C-Liner` (possibly a pair) with a C.V 2-8-0 as a pilot running through winter foliage on a bright day-footnote-is evidence to suggest that `C-Liner` has been spotted on the O.N.R taking the old `Northland` train up to Kapuskasing-got this from Frank Vollhardt-the most reputable of sources on O.N.R matters.......

Have a good day
