    It seems the Armistice Day special has been rerouted. While no longer offering Hastings-Ashford and Eastbourne, there's now a rare steam run (useful for me in any case) through Crystal Palace in prospect on the return.

    Total agreement there Al, I wonder if Jeremy Hosking can do a deal with one of the custodians of the few that remain. It could be a possibility, although perhaps unlikely as LSL appear to be assembling a stud of larger engines. A favourite of mine, the 9F has been long banished from the mainline and will never return, but we do have an active Brit and 71000 not far away.:)

    I believe he's not after buying any more locos, so it would have to be a deal. Who though is another matter. Two owned by groups, two owned by railways, and one owned by a council. As you say, larger locos are favoured, and is there much need for a 75mph class 5? Generally the same steam legs each year with either the B1 or 45231 is something a bit smaller is required - WHL or Kyle for example.
