Hopefully still in the container, and not via the upper atmosphere...
I make that three containers on their way to UK at the moment

Phew! Nothing there I actually need.  Tweedmouth shed had five A2s in 1961/62, but I don't think the track gang would have thanked Control for sending one up the Belstone branch.  Having said which, they did once despatch a Class 46 diesel to Duns with the daily branch goods.  Predictably the breakdown crane had to be summoned to put it back on the rails again.

Whoopee!  I should get my Blue Peter from Liverpool in the foreseeable future.  Now to go for a pre order for a pair of green Claytons!
