    Like you Steve I know very little beyond what has been said on here. I thought the MHR involvement was in the time and money spent on the work done to date, rather than any ownership percentage of the loco, but happy to be proved wrong....

    Although it took me to the LNWR website which did not recognise Bewdley, neither does the SWR booking site as a random selection.

    How many years ago was the tender last used Tom? Earliest digital image I seem to have of it is parked up at HK in 2009.

    All industries have abbreviations, especially TLA's. In aviation Rockwell Collins (one of the big avionics OEM's) actually produced an A5 book that ran to about 40 pages of them. The fun was always seeing if the engineers actually knew what they...
