    I gave them the out of "it's really poor", which I suppose includes "it's really fragile".

    Other than that, what else might I be missing?

    Can anyone help me decide if I'm imagining things?!

    I'm sure when Horden at Tanfield Railway was released into traffic after overhaul the other year, some fuss was made about it being in some way unique in preservation... but I cannot remember on what basis that was claimed. Can anyone enlighten me?

    Thanks!

    I suspect that it was because it did batle with a BR loco (a Q6?) and won?
