What I cannot relate to realiy is Natters5 comment: "I wish it was true but as the officer responsible for the SSR many moons ago I can confirm that they existed but were hidden in plain sight.  We did contracts with lots of heritage lines to keep the reserve loco's in operational condition in exchange for a free loan and usage of them. The steam reserve was abandoned 40 years ago and the engines gifted to those lines".  The biggest single source of preserved steam locos was Bill Woodham's scrapyard at Barry, in south Wales.  I'm pretty sure each of those was bought, not gifted.
