Always a shame to see locos scrapped, but that is the way of the industrial era. Like the Granadas, Westminsters, Vanden-Plas Rolls etc, Useful life has been served, many miles have they travelled. Their bodywork seams bulge and split with rust, their engines are tired and fuel-thirsty, their running-gear worn-out. The old must perish and be recycled to make way for the new. (sniff, sob, etc)
