    Could anyone please tell me the last time that KGV ran on the mainline prior to retirement as a static exhibit?

    Thank you

    Thank you both for your most helpful replies.

    The reason for the question was that it came up in conversation the other day and we couldn't decide whether it was within the last twenty years or longer.

    Thanks again
