Good point there Gordon but how do you define a no-hoper or a class of loco which has too many examples already saved?
What may seem one too many to some people, is some other individuals or groups personal goal to complete/restore and run.I also think that if it was possible to dispose of any locos in the future most of the funds raised would'nt find their way back into preservation unless they were owned by an actual railway company/society and not like most locos privately owned.
