Mean old nasty ITG. Such bad men. There's a reasonably nice photo of one of the locos in the present day in Sri Lanka on our website, here: https://www.irishtractiongroup.com/formerlocos

Quite. The ITG are not building a museum but are supportive of Jackie's efforts, he has faced many hurdles and does not get much support from any quarter, least of Internet and social media commentators, and souvenir hunters who trespass and break bits off our locos to take home or sell. As to the success or otherwise of his venture, I don't know. If someone else has a railway or a secure storage site that they can provide and pay for, we would be delighted to hear from you.
