Just like to say hello to all, paul ladhams from manchester, volunteer on the ELR when i get the chance and as u can tell from my name, big love of all the Manchester Ship Canal locos, with a soft spot for N.o 70

Hello Paul and welcome to the forum, enjoy and all the best.

Evening Mr Ladhams, good to see you on here sir.

Hello Paul and welcome to the Railway Forum. Post some photos of the MSC locos when you get a chance.

Why the soft spot for N.o 70?

Hi Paul welcome to the Railway Forum, hope you enjoy it

Hello Paul and welcome to the forum one of pavorossis lot eh.

Hello paul and welcome to the forum mate

Hi Paul, welcome to the forum.

Why the soft spot for No 70? cos shes a beast! very powerful for her size and she has nice lines, very attractive to the eye.

I have traveled behind No 70 many times and have posted photos and video of her on the site, which is why I asked the question. She is a hard working loco and is the backbone of The Avon Valley Railway along with Polish Chrazanow built Ferrum 0-6-0T.

Without meaning to be cheeky if i had my way id buy MSC70, shes a cracking engine. Even without her read coupling rods (running as an 0-4-2) she was stronger than most gave her credit for at the ELR 20th!
Always fancied running her at the eden valley railway.

Did i also mention a soft spot for NER C1'S?

Welcome
