    I don't think that is necessarily true. The map shows that there is rather more of the North of the British Isles than there is of the south! There is undoubtedly a little bit of bias because the LNER were far sighted enough to establish a museum - unlike the GWR (and I think the LMS) who cut up potential exhibits.

    If it weren't for the NRM the selection of LNER locos and its constituents would be even worse, no GCR locos in preservation for a start. Us oop norf weren't lucky enough to have a Barry.

    True, but as that obvious bias led to a bunch of schoolboys starting a fund in 1961 to preserve a 14xx, that eventually became the GWS etc etc might that have been in the end a good thing?

    Rumour has it that Pope Benedict is in the UK mainly to Canonise those schoolboys....
