    Hopefully they have negotiated a suitably daft hire rate with the production company that it ensures its next overhaul is funded- the cost and waste in TV and film is ridiculous so they will hopefully get a good bite at the cherry. Chris

    The best comment on there so far is someone saying it's a Western Region 4-6-0 so they could have used anything including a Manor and a Castle and it would have looked the same! ;) Cheers, PLP

    I have seen that previously. I was just checking the website for both the giants of steam and diesel gala so I could update my calendar and noticed it was suddenly gone. Good to see it back up.
