    Adding to that after thinking for a second. There are quite a few instances of this at the SVR.
    2857 homebased - No 2884 has ever run.
    7325 Homebased - No 43XX has ever run.
    5164 Homebased - no 61XX has ever run (assuming you count the 61XX's as a development)
    Maybe we will see these types in the future (although by the looks of it it depends on the continuing availability of access to Didcot to get the engines out as all 3 types are based there and two of them only there).

    Shouldn't be a problem after next month, though it might be a while before the 61 is ready to go anywhere...

    And there are still quite a few GW types suitable for passenger haulage which have yet to visit - far fetched in some cases? - yes! but as long as the locos exist the possibility remains.

    That is true 1472 BUT we were talking about sub classes of engines based on the SVR - hence the limited list however to take your post and flip it on the head slightly - there are also visiting locos where the subclass has never run EG 42xx - a 5205 has never run. No doubt there are others.
