I don't want to start the whole hassle over again, but Excuse me, if by the "previous owners" you mean the former operators, they would have loved to restore No, 9, ... CHS prefered to let the engine rust on a spur out of sight. A bunch of GLR In. employees finally tired o seeing the poor old lady sitting there in red paint and rust and went down and painted her in C&S livery on the side passengers saw.
Please get your facts straight. Thanks.
