    What absolute froth being posted here today seriously. - Personally 20 is one that has avoided me a few times of which I am looking forward to seeing it in steam and moving irrespective of how underpowered or pre-grouping it is.

    Very much likewise, will make some good noise and i’m sure it will bring in more punters than having the same guests but a different number each time.

    The treatment for that infraction should be to crawl into the oil bath with a short handled sledge hammer and remove the little end pin for inspection (I was told about the difficulty of this task by an ex Ramsgate fitter)

    Nice one! But dinosaurs are creatures of wide open spaces (easier to pick up incoming asteroids) and don't do crawling into small baths.
