Some great memories here. But (sorry) 41278 in your list doesn't look right. Can I suggest 41248? Hope you don' mind!

Good spot - I went back to my original notebook and you are right. It was 41248 and I've corrected the web page.

I'm glad that you appreciate them - a real mixture of ancient and modern at the time, building and locos.
