....and if you develop an attachment to your Hunslet or a B1a, you can always arrange to have it buried with you when you die. That way, nobody else can have it, and the remaining ones become even more valuable. A bit like the fella who, many years ago, had a rare postage stamp. He then acquired the only other one in existence and destroyed it so that his would be unique and, thus, priceless.
