I'm afraid not. Her boiler ticket ran out 2 years ago. She's currently on static display at the NRM outpost in Shildon. No news yet on whether she'll be overhauled.

While I think it would fit into the NWR very well, considering it is an American locomotive, built to the British loading gauge. I don't think that engine could work on Sodor. They were withdrawn by 1915 and all scrapped before the LMS even took over. They wouldn't have even strayed near the Island, as the bridge that connected Sodor to the mainland wasn't erected until 1915. They were sadly, long gone by then.

Well, there were those transfers from the Midland Railway in the NWR's early days.

Oh. That sucks. Maybe a few of the 3Fs and 2Fs. Oh, I just had an idea!

Probably, but the Midland's small engine policy usual meant no engine could be spared. They were always double heading or piloting trains to help give extra power. Like most of the Midland fleet, they wouldn't have been spared, especially venturing onto Sodor.

Just like Veterans Day, here in the United States. Rest In Peace, all soldiers who fought to keep peace in Europe and the United States.
