Back in the 80's when real traction (class 25,26,27,37,47,etc) was pulling mrk1-3's coaches they were unstopable now with new modern traction a wee bit snow and the units chuck it.
Lets see some old traction digging the country out and earning some dosh for the preservations.
I can mind watching a 101 dmu arriving at stirling from dunblane caked in snow and going to glasgow with no problem.

Last time snow was this bad I was on a train to Devon. left Gloucester towed by a 37 on three traction motors to Cheltenham (other 3 snow filled), then the 50 on the back became the train loco.

Absolutely shot off that train. 50,017 Royal Oak, I think it was the best run I ever had with a 50.

They should give up with all forms of public transport. It doesn't work, it never will. Stop wasting valuable resources on it.

Someone I used to know who owned part of preserved 50,021, his local was Royal Oak so he loaned them a big picture of 50,017.

He sold a rally car to buy a share
