    Let me frame it in a different way then , at 10A she is a fleet engine and an outlier versus the mainly Stanier fleet plus a more standard Merchant Navy . I presume there is not a dedicated 34067 support crew so operation and maintenance is done as part of the fleet . In comparison with other main line engines who have dedicated support crews who over time have knowledge of the nuances of the engine and its design , does 34067 suffer for this . From memory and I may be wrong but when at Southall she was looked after by John Bunch (correct me if I'm wrong) so maybe got some more specialist tlc as a result

    ** Just to clarify none of the above is in any way a criticism of those involved at 10A who have done so much to bring us 46115, 35018,45699,44932,48151 etc
