And, hopefully, back to where it belongs. Pendennis Castle at
Paddington, ahh, now there's a sight I'm sure many would like to see!
But I wonder if in amongst the 500 odd mainline steamers working over
there it would be appreciated as much as it is here. Is it even
appreciated here?

I suppose if one of our R-classes were to go to Ireland, would we not
be clamoring to bring it back to "where it belongs"?

How about if a GM-EMD where to go to the USA, would it matter? Perhaps
not as much.
