or....don't saddle yourself with a massive engine that you can't afford to restore or run, but just wait until a more suitably sized loco comes on...
I thought the NNR had bought a majority share in the loco? If that is correct then I would assume it would stay on the line. Apologies if I have...
I think you would need to give some idea of size/complexity, before anyone could give you an idea of cost.
Well unless you're a member of that society, why would you think you have any right to know its location??? If you are a member of the AGS, then...
Remember that the loco also needs a new tender
Someone had better tell the (Didcot based!) Heavy Freight Mob...
And this, ladies and gentlemen is why you need to be very careful about what you say on an Internet forum. How does anyone know that 'WhoKnows'...
Don't say that - we'll have you know who complaining again
I think @flying scotsman123 of this parish will have had a major hand in the painting/signwriting
Here's another alternative: 4709 group sells 7027 to JJP or a GCR group or whoever with a small profit towards their loco 4709 group fundraises to...

Considering that 4110 only arrived at Cranmore in Jan 2020, a simple 'like' doesn't really seem enough for the amount of work that has gone into...
You make the oft-made mistake of assuming that money given to a 7027 fund would be available to other locos if the 7027 fund was never setup or...
Not in the UK - they have all either been restored or are under active restoration
I thought it was still for sale via Tyseley (not sure if they own it or are just storing it)
Does this mean that you will need to remove the dragbox from the loco (I assume for scrap, unless it can be modified to the MK3 design?) and build...
General consensus seems to be that it brings a working Star no nearer to reality as the frames are completely wrong (and possibly other parts?).
I realise that Railadvent is not the most reliable of sources, but in this case it seems to be quoted from JJP. I also cannot find the Facebook...
