Does the Buckinghamshire railway centre know your borrowing 7715 and returning it to steam, personally I’d use 7714 as it’s already at the SVR in working order ;)

A better one would be to say that due to rising oil prices 2253 is going to be converted back to coal firing. Jon

Tom has saved me the effort and I agree completely with what he has said. When running tender first uphill you can run with the water almost out of site in the knowledge that when you get to the top of the climb it will go up. However, as 21B...
