A very sad tragic accident, I knew Bob well, he was a nice guy. 
I remember his daughter telling me that he loved driving the the 638 route, back then it went from Ryton to Sunderland.

I would say he is hinting at it getting preserved. No other reason why it would say 'forever' I don't think?

Yes, A small group of enthusiast's ( Including me ) want to purchase a Solar for Preservation ( More likely a earlier model ) and 4935 is one of our target's.
Its just a plan atm, But I hope to make it a reality when the time comes for them to go.

If its not a earlier model 49** , It will be a later 52** .

4926, 4934, 4944, 4949, 5219, 5227 or 5230.

Guessed so! There are some really nice solars so that would be great. Never been on 4935 but I'm guessing that is a nicer one. 

Wonder if GNE would be willing to donate one like?

Aye, I agree that there's a lot of Solar's that are nice. But there's some that are pretty bad too haha.

Wouldn't be expecting them to Donate one, But by the time there withdrawn they'll not cost much really considering most will be fit for Scrap by then.

4929,4930,31 and 35 or 4949 are the earlier ones outlined, 5214,20,21 or 30 are the later ones outlined if the purchase of a 49** isn't successful.

The list can change of course Wink
