4003 Lode Star or MR 1000 for me.
Though 6229 in streamlining on the mainline would be quite a sight.

As an aside, given the daft rules on steam speed restrictions based on the diameter of driving wheels, Stirling No. 1 would be permitted to do 75mph on the mainline if it really wanted to.

I don't have a problem with it myself. If it was a unique loco, then yes, but there's plenty of functional Bulleid Pacifics out there.

Rocket (although a non starter due to fragile condition) or at least the replica, to travel between Liverpool and Manchester in some open wagons for the 200th anniversary.

I am amazed that nobody has yet suggested getting Aerolite back into working order. To me it seems absolutely essential that we have a working 2-2-4T.

One of the advantages of being an old fart is having been able to have travelled in and behind some classic vehicles.
Indeed - I'm finding that with the next generation of electrics !

Or more likely, a very spotty troll, who's never had a girlfriend!

What does "mega wibblers" mean?
Anyway, if we're talking steaming, the train heating boilers on 31018 and D200 fit the bill!
