My last post for the moment - on the process and I've made it more basic than it is:

Our criteria for disposal are - poor condition/duplication/unsuitable for collection/more suitable for another museum
If an item is considered for disposal, I then make up a case which I present to our internal Board of Survey, where it is peer reviewed by colleagues from the NRM and across the Science Museum Group, and searching questions are asked.
The Board may then recommend disposal or they may refuse it - I have had both
If it is approved, then the case goes to the Science Museum Collections & Research Group for ratification or otherwise
It then gets taken to the Railway Heritage Designation Advisory Board who may make comments or recommendations
Then it goes to Science Museum Group Trustees for their approval and sign off

If Trustees sign it off, we can then offer it to a suitable recipient, who may or may not have already be identified.
Items for whom there is not a readily identifiable recipient go here, where the process is outlined again:

I hope that makes sense and explains that it is not being done on a whim. There has been a big review of signalling collections in recent times and there will be more. It's all about sustainable and responsible management of the collection.

Do bear in mind that I am a fully paid up member of the Industrial Railway and Industrial Locomotive Societies before anyone accuses the NRM of an anti-industrial bias...

Anthony, my comment about Respite was entirely tongue in cheek and the issue about HE3990 was simply of its time. No criticisms intended.

None taken, but I thought I should nail my colours to the mast before anyone got the wrong idea Cheers!

Don't worry Alan, there's a lot of the National Collection in the South already
Bodmin, Yeovil, Didcot, Mid Hants, Milestones, East Kent, Colonel Stephens Museum from memory...

Thank you. Bodmin would be the closest. followed by Yeovil I guess.
