 | I am grateful to Gordon Tidey for this view of a super D. |
I watched the British Steam Railways DVD of the Super D last night and was very impressed with Mike Lee's interview of Pete Waterman. Much funding for this restoration comming from The Waterman Trust. Pete also alluded to the many many of unpaid hours from his team at Crewe which they put into this engine.
