I've had a couple of decent acts in mind for a couple of years now, but - Aside from them only being suitable for over 21's with very strong stomachs - They'd involve too much work and too many props to work as a Gong act anyway.

And all the Paxman's are gone too   Ahh - But remember that I've always been a major fan of the Class 370 APT-P...And the IC-225s along that route are basically the same kind of train with only one power-car and non-tilting suspension. IIRC; BR were originally going to assign them the name APT-U, until their board of directors idiots decided to go and completely screw things up for the APT project! Even so...I doubt that an APT-U running the ECML at maximum 140mph would be anywhere near as phun as an APT-P powering up the WCML (Full-tilt and all) at it's much better top-end of 225mph... _________________ DieselDragon.co.uk - Deaths cluttered catacomb o' random stuff.
