Tanat Valley Railway Selling Class 143s

Just came across a post on Facebook from the railway with the following advert attached: Seems that the Tanet Valley Railway are selling off three class 143s and spares for "offers above scrap value". Wonder if they will go to scrap or be kept operational...

Tanet Valley Railway are selling some Class 143s, no clue on price unfortunately.

I see some of the Class 18s are for sale if not all of them?

I did see them but they'll probably be gone if they aren't already and I haven't a clue how I'd get 10-20k (apparently that's the price) in a matter of days

Putting this with your opening message I suspect your idea of a 'reasonable price' is vastly different from the reality of a 'reasonable price' - which is £10-20k (ish).

Buying the train is the cheap part anyway. You'll spend magnitudes more moving, maintaining and restoring it, unless you want it to rot away.

What would you consider to be a 'reasonable price'?

I suspect that this is where the owners of 45 015 at Shackerstone and the two 60s which were moved from the Wensleydale Railway to Kinsley probably came unstuck. Sadly, I imagine that their only future lies as sources of spare parts at knock-down prices....and doubly-sadly as 60 050 was the first of the class that I ever drove.

And paying for where you decide to keep it in some cases.

I was always curious what would happen with those two 60s…

Fair enough. What's the plan for it?
