Karen & co. Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 Hope you don't mind me asking, but on the way to Hanley this morning we saw a steam train leaving the sidings at Crewe, I thought it looked like the Mallard, but OH wasn't sure. The engine was dark green if that helps It's a long shot I know but have you any idea what it could have been? karen x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley-Jean Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 Mallard is blue Karen (I've got one in the loft OO gauge) There were some of the same design in green OH says (he was a train spotter in the 50-60's ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bronze Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 Can I sound really knowledgeable for a mo and say it was probably 'The Union of South Africa'. Its on its way up from the severn valley to Scotland at the mo. Now shall I admit I asked my dad ( a railway enthusiast not a train spotter plus his mate works on the severn valley) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
