    Isn't the flipside of the in house TOC model that actually the risks to independent loco owners of the Ian Cameron or PRCLT type of going main line with no order book have increased? I can recall off the top of my head 34027, 34046, 70013, 60009, 60019, 61264, 62005, 76079, 76084, 45231, 45305, 5972, 46100, and 46233 being hired in and operated by WCR. Bahamas, Tornado and FS are possibly the last in a long line and none of these three are available to WCR for one reason or another.

    I think WCR seem willing to still use Bahamas if it were to be air braked. I believe it was WCR who provided it's crew move to Greatest Gathering (either then or another locomotive move recently), showing they are still on good terms, so if that gets air braked I'm sure they'll welcome Bahamas back.

    however 34046, 60019, 45231, 46100 are all now LSL . 60007 and 71000 which WCRC have used in the past now signed up with LSL . 5972 is a WC engine . 34027 hasn't run on the main line for some time , 70013 is under overhaul and I suspect may not be air braked . 76079 once the Cambrian finished was sold on to the NYMR

    Bahamas is being fitted with air brakes in the overhaul that starts later this year at Tyseley
