It gets worse the more you think about it, even using guesstimates, rough figures and trying to extrapolate from the accounts. I can't imagine lighting up a 9F is going to be cheap with current coal prices, and an extra loco is lit up solely for...

Pedant alert: 76084 has also operated on the mainline in preservation, albeit to a much lesser extent than '79.

Just spotted this on YouTube. Originally published in 2014, but don't think I've seen it before. Definitely worth a watch if you're an admirer (even if you've already seen it)! [MEDIA]

Does make me wonder what the future holds for 828, it's been at the Spa quite a few years now- with 76079 at Strathspey will it spend more time as a roving ambassador? Chris

Nothing beats a Std tank on a heritage line for ease of footplate crew, fireman especially. Driver too if the 'bacon slicer' isn't too stiff!
