What, when there was a legitimate mechanical failure and some tried to blame witchcraft, bad management and the cows coming home before accepting any of the highly rational and logical engineering explanations as to what happened? Lets be more...

It's an interesting thought, though an obvious immediate concern is that you might then have an awkward PR situation on your hands if a steam loco failed and you had to substitute a diesel at short notice, after many people had paid the premium...

I think I've had 8 days on it, totalling 306 miles which I think all but 22 I've fired. I've not driven it yet! One of those was the half trip to Horsted for familiarisation, so really seven full days. As @andrewtoplis says, it's not really...
