    I'm not intentionally minimising the standing of the 2 GW sites but for this northern child of the 70s Steamtown and Dinting reigned supreme. It was inconceivable they'd close to the public. I'd agree with your analysis of Dinting's limitations...

    I guess there's a sliding doors idle thought to be had about what would have happened if David Smith had bought DRC in 1990 rather than Steamtown only a few years later. Not that it was on the cards but there were similarities of circumstances...

    I don't want to get into the SVR's politics but I imagine that, like the last set of main line outings, the engine's use off the SVR will be restricted to off-season dates when they run shorter trains with the smaller engines. I don't off hand...

    Spot on, the Fowler tender has now been totally rebuilt and she currently resides in as built condition - very much doubt they would do anything to spoil that. The Stanier tender came from 45110 and was conveniently available at that time as...

    If I recall correctly, 2968 ran with 5110s tender in the 90s because there was a problem with the Fowler one which has subsequently been rectified. I'm sure @2968 will correct me or expand.

    I'm guessing it will be used on the Polar's first, I could be wrong. There is a Worcester Shakey at the start of the November, so it could be available in time for that. I did hear that it be fully decked out in Polar insignia, so us purists may...
