  Yes I didn't know it had gone into Europe either until I received these photos. I have more for the site taken in different countries - coming soon.

  Lab 5\'s grand tour of Europe huh? I\'m sure that backdrop is better than that at Clapham Junction anyway ;-)

  Great stuff. Looking forward to it! Never worked in the RTC long enough to get a ride in Lab 5, endless programming in K40 wasn't quite the same...

  In May 1990 Lab 5 was commissioned to carry out a Track Survey as part of an ORE project. The countries passed through were France, Germany, Austria, Italy and Switzerland.

  It couldn't have taken too long to do its grand tour, there's a photo of it on flickr dated 12/6/90 and it is with 47971 before it got its blue star capability https://www.flickr.com/photos/78891834@N05/11423655354/
