My wife has decked out our box room which was a study, with Sunderland stuff and if she saw that she would want one. I'm not keen because all my locos puff steam. :)

I used to live in the pleasant town of Sunderland, Massachusetts, established in 1713, and named after the English town. Very exciting piece you've
acquired, 66725.

Where's the NUFC one? I'm not a follower of football but my friends are. They'd be horrified if I had a SAFC one and not a NUFC one too! They think I'm mad for 'playing trains' and spending a fortune on them!!!!

There was a loco named Newcastle United apparently.
This place is flogging all club loco nameplates - not sure if they are replicas of actual loco plates or just made up names ...

Its DIY week at Lidl so I picked up a few bits for the workshop. Belt sander, screwdriver bits, forstner bits, drills and a workshop Hoover. Ideal addition to my bandsaw and it fits nicely under the workbench where I can’t trip over it.
There are a couple of offers in a similar vein at Aldi from Sunday as well.

Think it’s just the models reference ident. IOS-HCF. IO could be IxiOn. HC Hudswell Clark etc.
