    John, I can see where you are coming from with that comment. But I feel medals are far better deserved by all those who got Clan Line back into service in time for that trip, and all those involved with operating that loco and train on 27 April. Rather than a Gricing Owl obsessed with Merchant Navy class pacifics in general and one in particular!

    Thanks for the update on the crews involved.

    It must have felt very good climbing up to the cab of Clan Line once again, possibly like meeting up with an old friend. <BJ>

    I think everyone involved got their medal when it returned to the Lane after its loaded test run, passed for another seven years on the main line.

    So the dream team - one of several! - was in charge on Upton Scudamore. That explains everything. :)
