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

    • @ThomasEdward
      @ThomasEdward  2 года назад +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!.

    I was more familiar with the class 40's on the North Wales Coast main line years ago and I only saw 37's on school trips to Cardiff. I've really got to like the 37's and love the sound from these old tractors. Amazing why they withdrew the 40's years ago and the 37's have lasted so long.
