The Crab would be nice to see but im sure theres another one steam able some where.

As for the MN its a heavy loco not really suited to many presereved railways and seeing as there is one or two out on the main line and lots preserved there is no realy need for it!

I dont fink the RAF have taken them on i fink there jsut stored there

I have such a soft spot for MN/WCC locos, haha. If only I had the pocket money to own one... ;)

I know how you feel, there blooody excellant locos, and id have one if i had the money, i jsut settle for playing with a 7 1/4" gauge one!

Does it really matter how many are already saved? Personally I would like to see as many as possible restored or at least safeguarded.
