    Morning All,

    The next installment of my 1993 video is now on YouTube. As well as the Kriegslok, it also features Wansford signal box and 70000 BRITANNIA, so I hope it's of interest:



    TTFN,

    I really can't remember - too long ago. Perhaps someone else on here will know.

    I believe it arrived in 1980 and left when sold to Pete Waterman in 2000.

    Didn’t it leave before that when it went mainline? Wasn’t it overhauled at Carnforth?

    I believe that once overhauled it was usually at NVR when not out on the mainline. But that is before my time, so only going by information from others...

    All my early trani shots on the NVR are marked 1977 /81 ,so 1980 about right. You won't get a photo like this again (attached.)!

    Ferry Meadows/Overton, heading west I think. Rail Mail etc in the foreground now, and 100' trees behind the platform!

    I moved away from the area some years ago, so have completely lost touch with the latest goings-on there.

    True enough, although the paramount importance of having a thriving railway on which to individually own stuff really can't be overstated.

    I'm struck by the contrast between the Government's left and right hands; one says 'this is part of our heritage and should be kept and helped', and the other says 'you can't mine material you need to operate'. (Yes, I know, a bit off-topic.. sorry.)

    I agree. If a host railway folds, there's nowhere for the resident groups to operate thier stuff.

    Other sources of COVID emergency funding are available. It depends on how the loco owning group is set up (charity etc)
