Hi All, Conductor Wolf here. Just letting you know for this round of Steam Train Posts, We're staying at the London,Brighton & South Coast Railway but this time we turn our attention away from the "B" class locomotives and turn our attention to the "K" class,"C" class, D1 & D2 class locomotives that have worked on the LB&SCR railway. Next time, we will be moving onto a different Railway.
Enjoy!
