Don't have an accountant in charge of parts.
One of our suppliers accountant decided slow moving parts should be written off.

But in a few years those parts won't be obtainable.
Nowadays, in a matter of months.

Do they have to be built in the USA ?

I thought Paddington was electric for western services, so a bit puzzled as to why it doesn't use catenary for part of the journey.
