Here's a pic of three of the Roughcastle Cats when they were quite new, and before two of them had serious damage inflicted on the body extension over the cab/engine area!

How time flies, the wee lass is my daughter, now a meteorologist! :shock:

Nicky, we must have passed each other on that site, as I was there almost every day at lunchtime taking pics of the 485 being assembled!

Who had the cab-less D8s and boxes when the site started?

Dave. S.
