    I’M HAPPY to declare the Great Central March 5 top-of-the-table clash between steam and diesel was a hard-fought draw.

    The former was leading at half-time thanks to nameplate from the Southern Railway’s Isle of Wight O2 class 0-4-4T W35 selling for £10,000, but diesel closed the gap from 1962-built Class 45 D65/45111.
