    While this thread is interesting, maybe most of us are not thinking sufficiently far outside the box.

    So how about one of these? Could attract a whole new, younger clientele. Should have plenty of power too ..

    We all have skeletons in our cupboards from student days, but some things are best not admitted in polite company!

    One does not simply walk into Mordor, because the railway network in and out is so good...

    Loading gauge and DWG's are mere trivialities.

    The real question is this...

    What colour do we paint it... BR lined green...Garter blue...

    Rather than Gardening Therapy what about an establishment with its own railway that offers railway operating therapy?

    Honestly, the D1 would be a great choice. Question is, which heritage railway would take it?
