    presumably it is built to the GWR loading gauge and is therefore a good bit higher than ,say , a class 47/ The bogie alterations, if still there, would have made it even wider than the GWR loading gauge.

    18000 is now on site at Didcot (as reported on RMWeb).

    What is the plan for 18000 now it is on the site as all I have actually read so far (I may be mistaken) is about how it is going to arrive and whether or not it is on the site

    Last I read there was a team being put together to give it at least a cosmetic restoration.
