    Maybe so but they have an overhaul to pay for so I’d imagine the hire fees are useful.

    I have always thought that 4953 was an odd purchase for the EOR - she is too big for such a small line. Even if they hire her out and use the fees to hire a smaller engine, they might benefit financially from the greater economy if operation.

    I could be wrong but I’m sure I read somewhere (maybe even here) that it is being run in at the GCR but is not being used for public runs much the same as Royal Scot at the SVR.

    The Hall is out this weekend (and possibly next) for the EOR's "Light Fantastic" services and Santa Specials.
