Yes, that one and many other outstanding examples of "R" stock on the Jama line - including #1277. The Island Line is for the most part out of doors (there is a short tunnel near Ryde Station) - and at grade. There is also a gap of several miles between two of the stops, which allows these fine old birds to get up to their maximum cruising speed - at least 55, perhaps 60 MPH. No field shunting whatsoever - Pure AMUE bliss.wayne |
