Well, there may be 2 or 3 other people who would agree with you.
And I would be one of them...
It is interesting how we differ across the pond with respect to engines being restored back to steam and on show as part of our historic past.
Over here any steam engine returned to steam and is living and breathing again is a bonus to the ranks of preservation, no matter who the operator was, yet over in the US I detect the animosity against specific engines as being vitriolic just because of other personal views/feelings.
It is a case of survival of the fittest when you are playing with big toys like these and can we afford not to restore engines just because of individual feelings?
