    Strong feeling that even by the time 78019 is withdrawn in a decades time that 84030 wouldn't be close to finishing

    Having literally no idea how far along the project is, I can neither agree nor argue the point. The one and only trouble with those always very welcome updates from the folks building 82045 (Oh, is it the 26th already?) is that us lot get spoilt and expect the same everywhere*, greedy sods that we are!


    *Of the 'builders' Clan Project and 2007 PoW (A1SLT) are both superb at communication

    I was at Lbro recently and realised that we have no recent picture of 78019...

    As well as the answers given above, 78019 was once based at the SVR, where 7819 lives.
    I don't know if it's more widely used, but I've certainly heard some of my SVR colleagues applying similar names to other preserved standard 2s
