Section 3: Overseas Railway Press

• Jan 2001 - LOK Report (Germany): A German translation of David Wardale's article "What Could You Do With £1.7 Million? David Wardale's Answer" (written for Locomotives International, as mentioned above) was presented in the January 2001 issue of the Lok-Report under the title "Was könnte man mit 5.6 Millionen DM tun? Dave Wardale's Antwort". This drew a 3-page response by Jürgen-Ulrich Ebel in the following March issue titled "Plädoyer gegen ein Phantom" (English translation kindly provided by Gottfried Wild) which in turn drew a follow up response from David titled "Wirklick nur ein Phantom? David Wardale's Antwort" in the May issue 5/01 of the same magazine (see English translation "Is it just a Phantom?").
