"I've worked on his railway line since before you could ever tell time, the year was 1925 I was brand new and top of the line. But I know my best days are behind me, No more shunting trains may just destroy me but I'm ready for the end I'm not afraid! Let the branches of the Scottish pines keep me hidden from the test of time, Let me go out like the engine I was in the height of my prime!" Paraphrased version of "End of the Line" by Christian Cordes.

Nice words; very apt for the scene.

Indeed. Would you like to hear the original song? I admit I only made changes to suit the Jinty here and most of the lyrics are the same but it is a sombering song for those who know the horrors even just from a glance of places like Barry Yards.

It is very sad; but his metal may be put to good use.
I like the weathering and the removed coupling rods as well.
Improvements could be that a diesel is shunting it into the siding; it would just make it a bit more authentic. If you take my meaning.
Other than that, good work. it deserves a favourite.

Thanks; was just temporarily set up on a stretch of 'dead' track.
Always fancied a model engine in this condition...
