But those Gents are all a bit older now, but i'm sure there's some younger ones to fill the gap!?

Thanks for making me feel old again Jim! The engines on that run from Bovington to Dorset were Fowler 17212, Fowler 17106 and Martin Fagg driving Boadicea on the back. Additionally Burrells Conqueror and Clinker (3996 and 3257) followed with the traction waggon for coal and 2 living vans. Jim Sarney actually broke with tradition and drove a fowler for the last leg (17212). Over 20 years ago now.. where the hell did that time go!
