I doubt the tittle tattle on TT would make much difference to them opening or not. After all I guess not many of you would voice your views at Thursford lol. Out of curiosity has anyone ever approached them and asked if the would consider selling some of the outdoors collection?

I would personally rather see engines repaired, restored and in use than preserved and displayed unless it it a common engine in exceptionally original condition. Anything of rarity I would rather see in steam. Yes they all wear out but in the end of the day it's all just a pile of shaped metal although i would be loathed to throw original worn out parts away when replacing them, especially if a lot of work went into them.
