Yes, Bob Wood's legs are getting more famous than his dogs ;-) http://www.tuesdaynightclub.co.uk/T03_Imag/03.21.07/Dsc09508.jpg ps, is this what put you off Ireland? :-) http://www.tuesdaynightclub.co.uk/T07_Imag/05_07_07/Pict1039.jpg Well he takes some good pictures. I stumbled across them while trying to find out exactly how many snow ploughs and rotary snow blowers Network Rail now have (they don't seem to know, or have "lost" them in tucked away sidings.) It is all very well having (very) minature snow ploughs on Sprinters. It would appear there are 20 or so ploughs constructed on old steam loco tenders and 12 or so constructed on old Class 40 diesel bogies. Plus some new rotary snow blowers. -- Neil Arlidge - NB Earnest Follow the travels of TNC, now in Ireland http://www.tuesdaynightclub.co.uk/tour.html
