Hello Harry,
I'm a great believer in steaming 'em but this particular loco was different.
It was simply stunning. I was told that it had been completed in 1948 but I
would have believed that it had been finished the day before. It would take
a brave man to steam something that had remained pristine for so many
years - I don't think I could do it especially if I'd laid out over
£150,000!
Incidentally I've just discovered that the recently auctioned engine has
been bought by a gentleman who lives in Knutsford (UK) - just a few miles
down the road. Maybe I could persuade a few of my friends from Liverpool to
liberate it on my behalf. I'm sure they would do the job for less than
£150,000!
Regards,
Barrie

I dare say there are some (not me) who would question the morality of such
decisions. Is it wrong not to steam such a fine machine, or not?
