    75029 has been on the NYMR a lot longer than 76079. This could be a factor. It also has a name and has carried the Olympic torch.

    I’d suggest that the only reason 76079 isn’t considered suitable is to provide an excuse for it being sold. Strange that the ‘ideal’ arrangement as far as the railway is concerned is for someone to buy it, overhaul it and let the railway use it.

    Do you seriously think that bearing a name added in preservation or carrying the Olympic torch really matters? I think the fact that it was bought by a very wealthy donor who (I think) retains 50% ownership is probably more telling, as is the fact that the NYMR were supposed to be committed to overhauling it rapidly. I think the failure to meet that obligation, and (allegedly) a loss of communication with him is probably more telling!
