In this thread: https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/class-210-driving-motor.212311/ there is some discussion about recreating a class 210 for preservation out of bits from other classes.
What items could be 'easily' recreated that were lost to preservation? I personally would like to see a class 13 reconstructed from a couple of class 08s, if for no other reason than it looks interesting to me!
In a similar, though more extreme, vein there is a class 23 under construction from a class 37 body and other parts, and the LMS 10000 from a class 58 and other bits.Have to admit I'm surprised that some mad-man (or woman) hasn't come up with a crackpot scheme to recreate the 210 using a soon-to-be scrapped Cl 317 or 455 as the base.......
