    44806 was still green when it arrived at Steamport Southport, it was repainted black there (but to avoid the cost of replacing the tender BR logo, this was painted around, thus leaving its background green!!)

    45491 will not be going mainline. Once her overhaul is complete she is to remain on the GCR and may visit other preserved railways.

    Thanks for putting the record straight. Still, we're unlikely to be short of main line Black Fives in the coming years

    Anyone know what's happened to < lostockhallmpd.org.uk > ?

    I found it a fascinating website, and miss looking through the various photos which were simply excellent at telling the story of those final few years.

    Oh no. Condolences to his friends/family. I did record a selection of the articles included from the website, but the sheer number of photos I did not. I hope these don't fall away, as you say there was some really good stories recorded.

    45212 re-wheeled last week- shown on Ian Rileys 'The Works' Forum

    Looking forward to its return- hoping it will put in the same level of performance as 44871/45407.

    Will make the Jacobite roster equation a bit more complicated next year. Will the K1 be squeezed out by the triumvirate or 2 from 3 be deployed?

    Would be nice if the K1 was squeezed out - we need it back at the NYMR and it would be great to have both it and the B1 running there together. Only my personal preference though!
