    According to the latest newsletter, the North British Loco Group is to conduct a feasibility study into the possibility of repatriating at least one of the NBL standard gauge 2-6-0s recently made redundant in Paraguay.

    That would be very, very nice. I remember watching clips of these on the telly on one or two programmes when I was little (Making Tracks?) and enjoying what I saw. I wonder if a return to steam would be possible too? Doesn't look too far out of the British loading gauge.
