Class 17
Another goods engine with a similar fate to the class 14.

Image

Image

Image

Class 20
A mainly goods engine introduced in 1957 with many still in revenue earning service. London Transport livery (fictitious?)

Image

Class 33

Image

Class 40
A heavy (132 tons) express loco.

Image

Class 47
A powerful mixed traffic loco introduced in 1963 with many still in service and most being refitted with more powerful engines.

Thanks for sharing GR, great to see as I do love my diesels! The Cl.20 looks superb in LT livery. The Clayton looks very nice but I prefer them in the two-tone green - the colours on Heljan model up on my layout. I must make an effort to attend more events like this. I check many of the railcams two or three times a day on my TV on Youtube - the SVR have several and there are good videos posted my those who have attend main events do I feel like I'm there (virtually). It is interesting jumping around the globe on live Railcams and seeing what time of day it is in other countries and what the weather is doing. You even see some of their trains sometimes!
There is at least one in Flagstaff AZ - perhaps we should get Paul to go and wave into it at a pre-arranged time for us to see :lol: :ha:

Thanks all.
The cam in Flagstaff is on Virtual Rail Fan, they do a "2 day grab bag" on YouTube. It would be nice to see him on there so we could take the mic........say hello.
