The NYMR hasn't bought the 9F. It has been bought by a Grosmont based company, the deal being spearheaded by a volunteer locomotive driver at the railway. Because of this the locomotive is now based there but it is not owned by the NYMR.
Dame Vera Lyn would require a heavy overhaul that would last several years, they have been offered to give a home to an operational locomotive.... the latter is the far more appealing decision to make don't you think? Above all 9F's are more solid than the WD's. The WD's are ideal for the NYMR but they are prone to firebox issues, infact i'm pretty certain both 90775 & 600 'Gordon' require work to theirs. 3672 has also been out of service since 1998, and i'm thinking the majority of that has been spent outside in the elements, that will not only lengthen the overhaul but increase the price.
