    Good grief, where does that time go? I remember it came in to ELR around that time via a railtour (Pilkington set!). So it would have been certified around 1991 and the 75mph testing presumably assessed by Brian Penney?

    A close guess, 18th Feb 1998 was its last run!

    All true but perhaps the latest owner of 44767 is less concerned about conservation or not too worried about the costs of maintenance due to having full workshop facilities 'in-house'?

    4 main line registered i would probably agree. However LSL have yet to exploit 22, with a Deltic one way/A4/A2 return, like the A1ST guys did quite a while ago. IF the DPS can create some sort of alliance to allow that to happen, i am sure...

    I don't believe so Steve, I've heard it said a few times that 75mph will be permitted. Perhaps the owners have had discussions with their vehicle acceptance certification body and made out a technical case as to why 4767 can be treated...

    Correct, I had a run to the Crewe open day behind it which was just after its 75mph 'trials'. Suffice to say a late departure was more than made up by extensive demonstration of its capability of running at the higher limit! Remains one of my...

    Yes, seem to remember 45231 was a Steam Dreams regular during that time.

    It's why Stanier created the 5XP after all, longer legs and 3 pots for high speed.
