Crikey John that is even worse than Oz, I thought Hunslet were building a replacement for the Class 08 Shunter?, if they do I guess it will better than nothing.
I used to be proud of Britain's manufacturing might, Ships, Locomotives and Cars, I can remember when train loads of cars used to leave the Longbridge Austin Factory in the 1950s, hard to believe that many now come from Japan and Korea, I think we lost the plot somewhere along the line., one day it will come back to bite us on the you know what.
