Regardless of the lack of dedicated steam railways here, we're able to run 110+ year old 4-4-0s on the main line, which would be unthinkable and presumably unprofitable in the UK, I even go so far as to say if we had any 2-4-0s surviving they would probably be viable on the main line, could you imagine say the GER T26 or the LSWR T3 going mainline? Always good to look at the positives
