 A mess :-)

 7921 has spent a a fare bit of time sitting in the display hall getting
dusty. I dont think its actually run for a while now.
 I see 7006 shunt occasionaly. The perway group ( of which I work with every
now and then ) have a special relationship with 7006. It loves to straighten
tracks. Including those meant to be curved :-)
 There probably isn't a set of points in the yard that 7006 hasnt wreaked at
some point. (The long fixed wheel base is unforgiving of wonky track
geometry.)
