Nice British Railways 2-6-0, taken at Bury in May 2002. How are British steam operations faring in the current insurance crisis?

This engine is an LMS "Crab". The nickname comes from the position of the cylinders.

I was in the UK recently and was talking to some "anoraks" at London's Euston while taking pictures of a mainline steam special. From what I understoond, insurance is not nearly that much of a problem in the UK as it is here, and while a few mainline trips have been marred with some problems, they have a very busy mainline steam season planned.
