    Even replacing by diesel may not be straight forward as volunteers often book long in advance and those volunteers may only be passed for steam and not diesel. With the steam ban operating departments are at short notice having to find crews...

    Bo'ness still steam as well. I was there on Thursday. Spent last week in Linlithgow and it rained every day. Thick green grass on the fields as well, I'd forgotten what green grass looked like!

    Having been a formulary chemist in water based cleaning in the past, we had a good saying - "Save water - dilute it!"

    Yes and yes. Very wet up here last week with plenty of "liquid sunshine". Not much that could be set fire to around here. Good to enjoy some of the real stuff (sunshine) today. Peter in Fort William

    75069 returned in December 2018, as a complete engine, and has been used extensively since. It doesn’t matter how many times you overhaul, etc and how much the job is done, you still need the regular V&P work, etc. So it needs to be limited...

    Zero chance of that I would have thought. It’s not registered with WC, there’s the cost of getting it up there and would the support crew want to do it? At least a week away from home sleeping in the support coach wouldn’t be much fun.
