    I think most would agree with you if the loco being used for parts hadn't been in the process of restoration.

    A supernova has certainly been started, however if they don't back out of this idea I think their group will resemble something of a white dwarf.

    You're working on the assumption that I haven't contributed towards the 5080 fund. You're wrong. We get it, you support the 4709 group and...

    Brand new engines are being made. There are no major stumbling blocks, other than funds. The lack of progress by the 47xx group demonstrates this.

    As stated before I'm ready to cough up a decent sum and regular donations thereafter. I can't be the only one.

    These people live in La-La Land. If they can barely scrape enough money together for the 47XX (which we don't have), how on earth can they justify...

    I'm happy that that deal worked out for you. However, if a 7027 group was formed in the past, raised money and then got refused by the owner it...

    Yet 5029, 5043, 5051 and 7029 have been here, there and everywhere, well away from GWR territory. Castles are much more gauge-friendly than a Hall...
