7 class 172 ex Chiltern on loan to West Midlands

I should have said that there is some vynals with West Midland branding on the centre of each coach. I did a bit of work with Gimp to remove the one from the nearest coach. It is visible on the other coach.

Huge "Thank you" for the quizzes you have put together this month.  Yes, do have a good 2022 taking more - perhaps the odd "special" during the year, and I suspect there will be an advent too.
