I’m shedding followers here and I think we all know why

@RPMarks @ParallaxFluxTX I think that sign has too much information on it which probably isn’t helping; if the RA2 typeface is used as part of the new overall scheme I think it works fine

Just Tom Baker (90 today!) in a railwayman’s get-up shortly after British Rail rebranded

Good morning everyone. As was usual, the Crewe Works open days were superb affairs, giving the general public a fascinating glimpse behind the scenes. One of the undoubted stars of the 1984 open day was 56133 'Crewe Locomotive Works', seen here just after the naming ceremony 😉👍
