    Indeed so, but as I remember being told, the kit sitting under the cab floor is something to behold. Whether every steam loco has the space to locate something similar is really the question that needs answering.

    You really think so? I'm afraid that I'm of the school of thought that regards ETCS as one big white elephant and a complete waste of money. It may be a good idea on a dedicated high speed railway like the once planned HS2 but it is totally unnecessary on a conventional multi purpose railway which is where, if anywhere, that steam belongs. Fortunately I don't see it happening in my life time - and I intend on being around for a few years yet, God willing:).
