Oh well at least at £7600 it beat the market price for steel scrap at £90/ton so it wasnt a scrap merchant bidding on it. So now we know the price of an unrestored Bulleid, and that should knock the price back of the others for sale. £300,000 (I think) asking price for Brocklebank Line. Yeah, Right!

Having given a bit more thought to this, perhaps it wasnt that far off the scrap price. A MN weighs 97 tons in working order, i.e. with a full boiler and 5" of coal in the firebox. So maybe Shaw Saville now weighs 50-60 tons........... say £5000 worth of steel, plus unspecified non-ferrous bits that IR says were included......... which could add another couple of grand to the bid.

If he hadnt put a reserve price on, it could have been bought by the scrap men. .
