That would be an interesting choice, although didn't someone post its off to the WSR for working to Torbay soon? I wondered if 70000 might make its reappearance on the posh job.

Quite, I don't think the pair of 'choppers' used yesterday have silencers, the passengers will have been assailed. Regardless of the fire risk, my understanding is if a diesel is directly behind a steam loco it has to provide the traction so the...
