I knew you were involved with a loco but for some reason i presumed it was a steamer & not a denzil.
    There's hope for you getting a cortina yet then??? ::)

Got a call to say the loco had failed on its first trip this morning....it 'just lost power'

So went to have a look and it was 'lacking essential fluids'

In this case diesel

Dow!

(not my fault I should add)
Same one that did an MV6 impression last week (as in wet itself)?
