Jim Beach currently uses it to pick up chicks at bars, but once the box set comes out, it will be cut up and a piece will be placed in each set.
Seriously though, it was probably just repainted and used again as a regular locomotive for some company.

I think he's asking about the dutch site where you could buy excellent quality video bootlegs :)

You may well be correct - but am I wrong, or did I read some place, some where, it was later reincarnated as the 'Hogwarts Express'?

I did read it - but I have no idea if it is true!
That's why I asked!

The locomotive engine that features in the Breakthru video (The Miracle Express) was purchased by Pete Malandrone (Brian's guitar tech and general all-round guy) and three friends of his (steam train enthusiasts) in Feb 1990. It currently resides, in numerous parts, in an industrial unit in Reading, Berks. Secret location.
The paint-work is a bit scratched but still reasonable and the train does still run, though not for the last 8 years. There are plans to feature it in a Cambridge based train exhibition/museum in 2008. Watch this space.
Pete is interested in selling his share of the train, if anyone is interested. In the region of £4,600 I think I'm right in thinking.
Write to my email and I'll pass it on - plus anything else you'd like to say about Pete's hair or dress sense.
