LMS Fowler/Hughes 'Crab' 13065 dressed as James for Thomas event at East Lancs 3rd August 2014

Finally seeing the LMS Fowler/Hughes 'Crab' running since overhaul, here we see 13065 dressed as James for the Thomas and Friends event at the East Lancs Railway, Sunday 3rd August 2014. Seen first at Burrs Country Park, then arriving, running round and departing Rawtenstall.

It annoys me that they couldn’t hire a L&YR class 25.

Well James is a modified class 28 given that those are all gone the class 25 would have worked but I don't think there gonna be able to get the only preserved 25 and completely repaint it for a Thomas event. Also the crab is a Mogul that's the right color so it's decent enough. I say all this to say it would be nice if they could be It would be near impossible.

Do you that James the red engines face in the video looks like the Strasburg Railroad Thomas face from 1999-2013

[@bennickss]
