    Why, just why, does this engine spend its time heading either North or South of the border only light engine whenever it makes such a move? Isn't it seen as being capable of working an excursion outside of Scotland?

    One lives in hopes that sooner rather than later it will venture onto the Cambrian say Aberystwyth before the signalling system changes. At RA6 it is probably too heavy to cross Barmouth Bridge. The Central Wales line and /or Blaenau Ffestiniog are other options on lines similar to those it traverses in Scotland. However I understand after Barrow Hill it is go by road to the GCR and then onto Crewe for winter maintenance.
