A Metro set disappears behind 2650's smoke, as seen from the fireman's window.

Good shot John, and a new set at that! I though for a minute it was disappointed commuters.

...Those 10M5's are better off up in smoke!! The worst trains ive ever worked with! 5M's are still the strongest and last longest (if not on fire)

I quite agree Greg. The 5ms are classic metro. The 10Ms are hideous to look at. The only thing that would improve the 5Ms would be maroon and grey paint with yellow end stripes!!
