    What CHRIS (COALWAGON) sayes is true, its down to the parties concerned to decide the outcome its best that we all refrain from idle speculation once the agreement expires all will become clear

    This second light pacific i had heard about also, and is very welcome news but it will be many years before a home based rebuilt light pacific once again runs on MHR metals if its the engine i think it is

    It looks as though this is an open secret then Martin?

    This Loco may be running on MHR metals sooner than you think.

    Would this loco be purchased by the MHR/MHRPS or just on loan to the MHR?

    Hooray! And now 70000's just about complete, that leaves the road clear (apart from the small matter of 46100) for the big one, 35027...

    Funny you should say that (and funny that I should appear) I was doing some googling last night and apparently 35022's boiler is already at Crewe. But I don't know if any work has been to it, or 35027 herself at Southall.

    And let's hope Mr. Riley restarts his restoration attempt of 35009 fairly soon. Interesting times for the 'Merchant Navy' class in preservation.

    Late-notice substitute for 5690 on The Christmas Fellsman on Sat 27th Nov? Highly unlikely...

    now that would be something to see, whats the odds on Clan Line nicking the record for fastest modern day steam run up the climb but saying that would Tangmere go faster, its a common thought that the un rebuilts were faster machines and freer runners than their rebuilt sisters

    But would an unrebuilt light pacific out perform a rebuilt merchant navy with its larger firebox grate and bigger cylinders?
