    Part of the issue is that whilst we are very lucky with the amount of undercover storage there is (with a large part of this down to hard work and fundraising by volunteers), OP3 is still being used to store several engines, which it was never intended to be used for. That’s one of the reasons why the eventual construction of an OP5 is so important.

    Convert as yet unrefurbished SOBT 4227 into a RMB and use the double doors for wheelchair entry……..two bird with one stone!

    Isn't 4227 unique though because of its coupe? I know very little about it as I have never seen it. I wasn't around when 2515 and 4279 were still running, but have heard from a guard that they weren't popular to work from!
