A j50?
9426481
Indeed.
They were wonderful tank engines, and as stated on the previous page were originally going to be the basis of Thomas.
Did you like the pun I played with the title?
9426523
Yeah. Isn't there a new one being biult?
9426526
There is. But at last check they've only £950 of the £2,000 they'll need. And they've been raising funds for the last 7 years.
9426535
Ok but now their are a lot of new builds being done?
I gave this a read because of the Spitfire tag, but... I don't think she was actually in it anywhere?
Supreme Commander 2, though
9426540
If anything, too many.
9426547
Ah, sorry about that.
Did you enjoy the story though?
9426601 Uh, it's not really my thing, I read it mostly for Spitfire. But she wasn't in it, yet remains tagged...?
9426831
I've been busy today, but I'll remove the tag now.
Heh, if women can ever work on the Railroad full time, that should be the term for them and to tell them apart from Firemen. =)
Good short story =3
9429181

Okie =3
9432273
I know you'll spot them.
9432304
I will for sure :3
9432313

Okie =3
9432317
But alas! The iron road calls, and I must away.
9432321

9432332
What did you think?
9432368
See my comment on the credits chapter :3
9432376
OK.
9432398
Okie X3
9432401
Say, do you know the J50s?
9432411
Hmm..... I might have looked up on them from time to time :)
9432419
My dad remembers them rumbling around Bradford and the Keighley area.
9432436
Ah, Noice :3
9432438
They were especiually associated with the Queensbury route.
9432449
Noice =3
9432463
But they are all gone.
9432475
Oh.... :(
9432477
A new one is being built, but the project has not got very far.
9432490
Ah
9432500
It has raised £950 in 3 years.
9432512
Whoa :O
9432517
Nowhere near the amount it needs (£2,000).
9432775
Ah.
9432811
On the scale of it, they have raised £26.38 per month. At the current rate of funding, it will take them a further 75 years to raise the money they need.
9432823
Ah
9432837
And that is a very long time, probably longer than I shall live.
9432841
Ah
9432843
But plenty of newbuilds should have come on stream by then, such as 5550.
9432847
Yep :)
