That’s X-rated stuff. If she was a horse she’d have been put out of her misery long since. Remind me just how much people paying to be part of this? I suppose at least for those in the Mk2s their ears are spared the agony.

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...

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...
