A final post? A few years ago before George Cushing died i had a long chat with him and he showed me around his yard behind the scenes, He was a real gentleman. During the conversation he actually told me he was sad that the engines were never steamed anymore. He also said had he realised that this would be the case he would only have done a cosmetic job on those that he had restored and saved a lot of hard work and money .
With all that said I guess that we have to accept his sons decision not to restore the remaining "unrestored" engines and dream that one day, just maybe !!!! Sigh !
