    Jumping forward 50 years, we come to the second golden age of railroading, the 1980s, where a long unit train of empties joins the mainline at Roper. RailWorks64 2021-12-06 18-34-57.png

    In 1997, a special railtour was organised by Hertfordshire railtours from Ealing Broadway to Whitby and back. This railtour used the iconic Great Western Merlin livery on the HST.

    Here that railtour is seen being passed by a GNER Class 91 (IC225) heading south towards York on the return leg of the tour.

    Should I create the next competition thread with Modern Memories in place of NEC Railfan?
    He wasn't online since yesterday morning, or shall I say Friday afternoon for him.
    Considering the (so far minor) delay, unless we have like a million posts right away, it should run until Dec 24th, Friday.

    Well I'm here, sorry for holding you all over, good old time zones I guess, and the fact I was busy yesterday. I just posted the new thread and extended the entry time to Saturday. If there isn't much participation I'll extend it to the 24th.
