You should scratch it or apply some cream which may help😂😂😂

I intend to make a weekend of it in Devon when we play Plymouth away this season if by any chance it’s a running day?

Looks like Loco Services Group are better at getting the dents out of urns and kettles than GWR! They've done some stunning paint jobs recently...

Guessing @Silver_fox60017 will appreciate these?
