So many schemes

Post by hq1hitchin »

I wonder how many of these will come to fruition? I like the idea of a LNW George V myself, relatively simple to build and would be ideal for main line running down the N Wales coast

Ay up!

Project 5AT is almost certainly dead in the water due to a major lack of interest....

It looks German with an American color scheme :| I certainly wouldn't want to see that on the WCML, never mind the ECML or NYMR
