    I drove past 5542 heading east/north along the M42 an hour or so ago. Off anywhere nice?

    Looks like it's going to the battlefield line for their spring gala, first I've heard about it though, I only found it by looking on google maps for railways near the M42, then looked on their website to see it is the headline loco! I wonder when it'll be back...

    edit - looks like I was beaten to it
