Not new, but interesting. At current exchange rates.. 3 million pounds is about 5.5 million bucks. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/7537462.stm |

they have been working on that locomotive since the mid 1990s. i just hope that it does not meet the same fate as the Swedish and Chinese locomotives in this country; which are not historic. They are sitting in a corner rusting. At least they choose a design from a British Railroad. I applaud their efforts but, I think the jury is still out on that project. Even with the large number of British locomotives in steam; I do wonder if the money might better have been spent on another of the Barry Scrap Yard locos. Perehaps pick one of a class that has not yet been restored to operation. I do have to admit a certin interest in the Merchant Navy Class of locos named after famous ships and shipping companies.
