I'm not denying anything. Just taking advantage of an imprecise post to pull a few legs or (eponymous) Johnsons ... *
Which, BTW, I couldn' have done if you had written, "The R&LHS is also getting their own placards on the tender and the revenue from one of the first #4014 excursions, which will run to Los Angeles." instead of, "They're also getting placards on the tender and the revenue from one of the first 4014 excursions which will run to Los Angeles."
Ever since I first registered on the NGDF - 04/01/14 - some people have been taking me FAR, FAR too seriously. All you need to do is take a close look at the photo of my friend Steven Four-Knees that I used for my avatar to know there's something fishy going on. The last time he dressed up like that was for the steet fair at Pico and Sepulveda (near Allied Hobbies) in Los Angeles back in the late seventies.

* I probably shouldn't admit this publicly, but my real motivation is that I'm still on probation as a Gadfly - the first level of apprenticeship en route to being accepted as a full-on Curmudgeon by the Order of Loquacious & Degenerate Foamers And Recalcitrant Train Spotters (OLD FARTS). Der Über-Kürmudgeön JéBêWèX says I haven't been nearly sarcastic enough lately, and if I don't shape up I'll be bumped back down to the rank of mere Foamer.
