I do have to own up to actually being old enough to remember them first time 'round when they were chocolate and cream in colour, called skippers and promptly banned from half the branch lines in Cornwall, but I'm just going to go and sit in a corner and gurgle gently to myself, mama mama :P

I saw it depart EXD at 1250... it was smoking quite a lot so I'm surprised it made it all the way to Penzance!

Maybe it didn't? Just broke down and nobody responded to the cries of help from the pacer? Then just blew up?
