    Sherwood has also been a favorite of mine as well. Great exhaust. But I'm also glad they want to examine the loco once in Crewe or Southall.

    :( but they could quite easily! :)

    Any road, getting back to the loco in question - I did wonder where she would end up, so fair play to JH dipping his hand in his pocket - tis a goodly engine, and will fit well in his portfolio. ;)

    If it was good enough to be applied to Royal Scot Class 46112 and Class 45 D100 / 45060 then the name can't be that "daft"; but then "beauty" lies in the eyes of the beholder !

    Judging by the text on it's new page I would say the name is staying.

    It's carried a name for around half its existence has it not, which surely gives it some greater legitimacy?

    To get back on topic IOS have now put up a rather useful table of their complete fleet detailing each loco's current status and when their boiler tickets expire or when they are due to return to steam:

    That table was there prior to adding 45231 to the fleet and someone should tell them that 12+1 doesn't equal 12. ;-)

    Does anyone know whether the sale of 45231 to Mr Hosking also includes the support coach Mark I BSK 35449 (99241)?
