And another photo. It's taken me a couple of years, but I finally got around to converting my Wrenn City of Stoke on Trent to three rail. While...
Nothing much in the way of news, but here's a recent photo: [ATTACH]
I initially didn't care much for the streamliners, nor did Stanier for that matter - he used to refer to the streamlined casing as a "carapace" or...

If the controller's struggling a bit, maybe the magnet is not as good as it used to be. A City of London in top condition shouldn't draw much...
