Everyone, firstly it's a shame that this slanging match has being started in a public domain i wouldn't normally post but i feel a bit of injustice could be going on, secondly on this forum where it looks as if people don't have to identify there real name and so therefore don't worry about the implications of there statements 'Templecombe' etc alot of bull could be posted.
Everything i'm saying here as myself and not representing YRC, but for your information YRC have good communication with the locomotives owner currently, there's much more i could say i do have access to all the facts but frankly all details surrounding a privately owned loco, stored on a private site are exactly that, private, if you really do wish to show your support for 50050 please buy their book,donate and go and volunteer for them, same for the railway centre.I prefer to hold my discussions in real time face to face with the appropriate people with all the facts not on an internet forum in front of an audience.
It's a shame people who are involved in preservation etc do feel the need to discuss private matters on forums and such, like this as it does tend to cause tension but that's their own choice, whether the owner approves in this case im not so sure.
Lets keep it fair lads, im sure we could all write plenty of stories people would like to hear about what goes on in any group of people, but lets save it for the autiobiography sales eh?
