    I’m more than aware of that! It will mean that stock hire for the Aberdonian is now a bit more complicated. I’m just hoping for much more steam in Scotland outside the Jacobite as the rest of Scotland is hugely underrated in terms of scenery and some routes like Edinburgh-Aberdeen/Inverness.

    That's my thinking. Run it in gently with a diesel providing half the power. Then see how things go. Could be good for GB26 rather than 25

    I know the gentleman who is providing quite a bit of 07’s funding and it is his aim to get her on the main line.

    Fair enough, I'll stand corrected. I thought it was primarily an MHR loco though, so was being overhauled for use there?

    Probably best continued on another thread.

    The gentleman concerned has a very persuasive cheque book so may well get his wish. Time will tell though.

    Yes - I was on the footplate of 34007 going up the CVR branch line to Ipstones when he was the driver one day.

    I know that everyone will be delighted if and when Tornado is back in full operation but isn't it interesting how quickly this 2009 new build has become yesterday's news?

    Perhaps that’s a reflection on the openness and communication skills of the current management? Not so many years ago there were monthly reports to the supporters and regular postings on SM and indeed on this very forum ….
