    Everything would have to be done by contractors. The NRM no longer has a workshop.

    It would be interesting to see the income and expenditure cost of operating Scotsman. However, if the hire figures I’ve seen are correct then it should be cash positive at the end of its current ticket. Whether that money is put back into...

    Another workday with five people attending saw the weld repairs to the underframe of #676 completed and then the undersealing finished. Then the "old "W" iron had to be temporarily bolted back so the wagon could be moved in a shunt next week....
