Mr. Barr,
I suggest that you book a trip on Chama Heron Airlines as I hear they have direct flights to the UK from your favorite railroad. I've heard that the flight goes a bit faster if you tip the crew a couple of bottles of ABA to play "My BlueHeaven Heron" over the intercom.
Bon Voyage
Speaking of birds ... a little birdie told me that the WW&F boys are building a replica of Baldwin #7, the 2-4-4T that the line bought new in 1908. A few parts have been made and a half-boxcar load of casting patterns have been built with more in the works.
