Great news. The 24 class is a handsome loco. However I'm sorry to see that the loco has beeen renumbered.
Why not 24 class number 3620?? I guess if you own the loco you can do what you like and it
probably won't upset the locals but for someone who went to SA for the steam I think it is a shame.

   PS   I don't mind the Steamrail headboard. How's that for inconsistency!
