Railwatch: New Lines

[Budewizer]

Hmmm, seems the Generals like to put a spin on it to make it look like everything is rosey.
I seem to recall that when MR recieved their 10 YDM4's in yr 2000 the local press report them as being brand new locos whereas they were in fact ex Indain Railways locos refurbished at Golden Rock Workshops in India - at the very least they would have been at least 15 yrs old if not older.
Brand to MR yes but born a lot earlier.
