    I hear on very good authority that there is a finite probability that it has a five figure number...

    Well, technically, "a finite probability it has a five figure number" also includes the finite possibility that it doesn't, and it is indeed "another green, copper capped, tick tock thing" ;)

    I must say fair play to the WSR for having all these Southern loco's in, sometimes it's good to remind yourself others have it far worse than you ;)
