Due for cleaning

A rather dirty pannier tank with an autocoach. Although this series of panniers were not equipped for push-pull operation, according to reports autocoaches were  sometimes used with engines with no auto operation, just using them as a coach and running the engine round the coach for return journeys.

The weathering was done by TMC, and they also fitted the crew - most of my trains are not equipped with drivers or firemen (though I have some to be fitted to the Double Fairlie).
