Hi All,

This caught me by surprise what would you call it and would Shoe zone sponsor it ?

The Clarks Express (sponsored by Clarks (!) and not Shoe Zone); Paddington to Castle Cary, calling only at Reading and then to pick up only.

It includes a free bus link from Castle Cary to Street, for the Clarks Shopping Village.

Can't help thinking my esteemed old mate on this forum ('TRAINER') might have one or two things to say about this. Roll Eyes

Can I ask the OP^▸ , basset44, where this 4-6-2 was snapped?

And an explanation for the 'wraparound' also....

Hi bignosemac,

it was taken at a little train museum I found in Warsaw, which cost about ^2 to enter and I would recommend it to anybody who happens to go there.

Sorry don't know why it was like this but they have a web site and if you can use google translate they might say

www.muzkol.pl

Hope this helps

Think a train like this would be a 'shoo-in' to use against some of the more irresponsible and inebriated Hooray Henrys, who blight the Rail Ale trains in Yorkshire ! Cheesy
