I guess because the theme is really about BR standards (and closely-related designs like the Ivatt). Apart from cost, there is an impact of increasing the number of locos, which is each one gets used less - and people complain about that! Four...

Just watched the Country File week forecast, you guys in the South are in for quite a bit of the wet stuff. Our neighbours have just gone for a hiking holiday in the West Highlands and Islands of Scotland, looks like their luck is in, quite dry...

Will the site be open before the first trains at 11.30? I'm thinking of shed shots during preparations, always a good watch.
