Re: Railways

NM (never.opened@xxxxxxx) gurgled happily, sounding much like they were
saying :

Spanish Talgo pendular have been running since the early sixties

A quick google suggests 1980 as an introduction date.

including copeing with a gague change at the French border, we were
still building steam engines then.

I s'pose March 1960 counts as the "early 60s" - which was when the last
British steam loco was brought into service...

Would that be Evening Star 90000F series freight loco?
