    According to the NYMR forum, 61994 has been deemed not fit for purpose following an inspection by people from the railway. A surprising decision, to say the least, but one im sure wasnt taken lightly.

    The loco has not failed - The NYMR have taken a decision as to their preparedness to operate her - Wouldn't she look good on the Wensleydale instead!
