[modeleng] 60019

Slightly off topic......
Yesterday (April 19) 60019 Bittern (an ex LNER A4 Pacific for non-UK 
types!) was on a special. It left Swindon running late, and I walked the 
couple of hundred yards down to the occupation crossing to see it and take 
some photos. It appeared going well, but on the back of the train was a 
class 63 diesel, presumably for train heating. It had smoke pouring out 
from underneath in large quantities and a horrible smell of burning 
lubricating oil. Fortunately, there's a telephone at the crossing, so I 
called the Swindon signal box to tell them - they appeared duly grateful. 
Has anyone (e.g. Dave Beaman, since the train was going to the Severn 
Valley!) here any further news of what happened, or did they carry on 
regardless? 

Definitely a case of 'Coughs and Sneezles spread Diseasels' to quote  the 
Reverend Awdry!
