And where would Steamrail get an N from? The only one left is in the
museum and I don't think it should be touched. If it is "restored" we
will no longer have a VR N class locomotive as it will have to be
modified for modern operational conditions. What is needed is a proper
museum so these rare locomotives can be preserved properly.
