    I blame Thomas Tuchel, I got drawn in to watching a turgid England performance. "A game they should win without really trying" trumpeted some of the pundits, well they certainly didn't appear to be trying and as a result they were in grave...

    That I recall was documented in a slim book about Blue Peter from the early 70s I recollect having, think maybe bought at Dinting Railway Centre. It was a history of the loco and information about the plans for it in preservation, including the...

    I was discussing the whistle today with a friend and it is believed to be from New Zealand, acquired by Geoff Drury. Today's job at Lazonby: [img] Blue Peter at Lazonby ...and Angerholme: [img] Blue Peter at Angerholme

    Quite a few NYMR volunteers work for WCRC although one or two have retired in recent times.

    Yet the chances are if someone did "upset him" they are no longer involved with NYMR. Some NYMR crew also work for WC as I understand.

    The 8f and the Hall both visited but a very long time ago.

    I'm not assuming that at all. I was looking at it purely from the NYMR side, "the Whitby problem", and what options the railway might explore. There used to be a working relationship with WC in the early days of Whitby ops. Perhaps the Railway...

    My suggestion was based around the "Whitby problem". The only short term fix to that is hiring certified locos but I fully understand that might not be viable. In which case the "Whitby problem" resolves itself, to the commercial detriment of the...

    Probably, but can they afford not to? They're always very short of locos for most of the season. The whole of the diesel fleet was out today, and other than no. 29 and Lucie, it seems 44806 is currently the only fully operational steam loco....

    37688 was being operated by LSL but isn't any longer, hence the long term hire to NYMR.

    Well either really. Assuming the certification has been maintained whilst not being used 44932 would be suitable, maybe 45110 could have been fitted for Whitby operations, which isn't "full" mainline kit. 48151? Then there's the diesel fleet too....
