Hi, Turbostar and welcome.   

Your user name reminds me of some of the units that SWT▸ (South West Trains) used to use on their Waterloo to Salisbury and Exeter line in the past ... are you from somewhere along that route, or hoping for some 17x trains in the Greater Western area in the future (or both  Grin )

Hiya, & thanks for the welcome. No, I'm in Plymouth. Just had a long interest in the Turbostars since they were built. Used to travel on them all the time when I lived in Aberdeen for a few years as well. Yes, it would be nice to see them coming down to Plymouth, but can't see that happening in the future to be honest lol. Thanks again for the welcome. :-)
