BGLR : Loco update

With the layout being a bit quiet at the moment we thought it would be a good time to survey the BGLR locomotive fleet. The fleet is split into the Active Pool which are the locomotives currently on the layout and the Reserve Pool which are the locomotives in storage or out of service. Every few months there is a stock rotation swapping an active for a reserve loco. The idea being that every loco should get some months of layout time per year (well thats the idea anyway!)

Active Pool

Maggie 010 - Fully operational (see below)

Reserve Pool
