@SpudMuffin @sunsporter1649 Very impressive locomotives those, but it might be hard to find anyone these days willing actually to clean, prepare, operate and service them for a living!

@sunsporter1649 They are, but they are not whom I had in mind.
I was thinking particularly of the running-shed staff, of whom only a few were skilled fitters, and whose work was physically hard, hazardous, filthy and often at very unsociable times.
Even driving the locomotives was not exactly romantic, though it was skilled work.
