Hi John, it looks like you're not keen on Harry Needles. I've never had any experience of them, are they undesirable ?

What is special about them is that they like to use restored Heritage Traction (plus a few 66s). IIRC they have Class 20, 31, 37, 47 and now 55s. They are hinting that they're going to use the Deltic on freight movements, but it seems a bit of a waste when they're ideal for charter work.
