Advantages: Fantastic record of this loco Disadvantages: None!
properly preserved for new generations.
A group of young people, some no more than schoolchildren, decided that they would not sit idly by whilst people like Mr Beaching destroyed their heritage. They decided that they would do something. But what? What could a group of idealistic school children do to try and help redress the balance of mindless destruction and change (as they perceived it) merely for the sake of change?
Buy and preserve their own steam locomotive, that's what! They managed to buy a Merchant Class locomotive form British Rail. The locomotive they bought was a Bulleid Merchant Navy Pacific 35028 locomotive by the evocative name of Clan Line.
