    Wiki says built in 1906, so I'm afraid you have missed contractual limitation by a mere 120 years. Unless the contract was executed as a deed, it's only 114 years late. That's before you get to the problem of privity of contract. I hate to...

    I think the MHR owns something like a 75% stake in the loco, with the original owning group owning the remaining 25%. I think the Swiss individual has just provided funds for the overhaul.

    Think he has underwritten the overhaul to a significant extent. Also a Director of R&S (E) Ltd, Bury, where the loco is being overhauled. He's German, but lives in Switzerland, heir to a fortune made from chocolate .... "34007 is owned by...

    Reading the latest SLL bulletin, it is mentioned that the proposed tender swap with 34007 has been revived because there is a new plan for the loco to 'go mainline'. https://southern-locomotives.co.uk/News/news.html in the section for 34072...

    My heart hurts for the Churnet Valley. These sort of incidents can be broadcasted within minutes of what happened. No time for the heat to come out of the sting of the incident before it appears online.
