    TE, would you rather buy a Class 37 as a project or go for the Rolls-Royce?

    • @ThomasEdward
      @ThomasEdward  3 роки тому +3

      Tough one! But I'd like to say both 😉 Because if I can make the showbiz and all round entertainer a reality I can be like Pete Waterman with collection of real trains.
      But for now I'd like Rolls Royce Silver Spirit I keep my eye on them everyday on Ebay I'm still looking for someone with early one so I can do Video on channel before I actually buy one in the future hopefully fuelled my me Thomas Edward hard work!.

    Class 37's were a main stay, up here in south west Scotland. They were often used for hauling iron ore from Hunterston, through to Ravenscraig Steel Mill in Motherwell. They were also used for hauling HAA coal wagons, often 46-48 wagons at a time!
