It was a great idea. Many individual parts were common to engines of all sizes so stocks of spares could be limited. Most steam drivers could drive any steam engine anyway, but having controls standardised aided familiarity.

The only problem was that railways elsewhere were already giving up on steam and so many of these engines got scrapped while relatively new.

Then many of these got saved for preserved railways, most from Woodham's scrapyard.

Train driving isn’t hard work; absolute doddle- no left / right turns, no reverse; paid a shedload; no working Christmas day, double bubble Sundays; unionised up to the hilt so all members get best deal available; piece of piss.

Similar to pilots really. The planes do all the work…

You pay these people for the moments where things go wrong.
