    Whilst i think this is progressive thinking and a decent idea in its own right - cant see that tornado is any different , and in some ways better due to its soft exhaust, than other locos in respect of being in light steam for transportation during extended dry periods...

    I thought they were both LSL locos in the first place?
    37402 owned by LSL and 40013 on long-term loan to Locomotive Services from 2018.

    Both 37402 and D213 have the same owner. LSL operate them but do not own them.
