And the http://www.eorailway.co.uk/ website says they're planning to build a new shed for servicing steam locos, so you may get your wish Boltar. Indeed. The volunteer I spoke to stated that the EORL has already laid down 10K GBP towards the purchase of a shed structure. However, unless the DMU was to be push/pull worked by the loco, you're going to need steam-compatible LHCS as well; this means that more money and volunteer work is needed to build sidings to store said coaches. Thus, even if a loco is had, it may not mean that steam workings can resume. Aren't they going to relay the line so they can use all those Finnish locos and rolling stock? No. They're just to look at. |
