    It's not obvious (to me anyway) from RTT where the loco was turned.

    East Lancs Railway

    That gives the lie to the excuse that everyone was too busy to inform potential customers that 34072 would not be running.

    7027 Thornbury Castle

    Granted either would consume a lot of cash, but how do you reckon there would be no saving at all over building completely new?

    4247 Overhaul at ESR

    Fair comment, but haven't they lost/wasted rather more on badly done work than on unsuitable second-hand parts?
