    Interesting - I guess that they will have someone 'minding' it? Strange choice, you would have thought that there would be Classes 20/37/47 available rather than something so exotic. Perhaps someone at GBRF fancied a play??!! :)

    Think it would look quite smart in the GBRf livery ...

    Anyone know why they have hired a Deltic instead of more modern traction?

    Because its available, got enough power for the job, is good PR and signs a few drivers off on rare traction?

    Did I read right that its going to be replaced by a pair of 09s?
