Good bye Baggers, hello Jessie
The MPLR has upgraded the Baguley-Drewry that has been in service since last summer. A willing workhorse, he has been transfered to a fellow NG line in darkest Kent and his role is being taken over by a new I.P. Jessie, complete with working radiator fan, lights, engine sound and so on. We feel that the Jessie will ‘fit’ in better with our other loco’s and look forward to her entering commision very soon. (would have been even quicker but the staff at IP seem rather keen to hold on to their self-tapping screws and did not put any in the kit box, aaahg!). Negotiations ongoing! Piccys to follow.
