    That's a shame, but as I pointed out, it's not the overall cost of doing 133 but the difference in cost between restoring it and the worst of the Garratts - and the possible difference in running costs thereafter ~ or, are there any NG15sstill...

    I wonder if, at some point in the future, it will be seen as more cost-effective to restore the second example, rather than overhaul one of the Garratts? There's a lot less bits to maintain, and given the cost of tyres, for example, the savings...
