    Indeed and especially for an engine that was once the flagship of the Mid Hants Railway

    Wasn't that one of the problems ORR identified and required structural changes in operational governance, management of health and safety etc before lifting suspension of the TOC licence? It's all very well a private business being run...

    I’m not suggesting it’s particularly complex, I’m pointing out just how autocratic it all is.

    Recalling that the LH outside cylinder disintegrated whilst hauling a train on the S&C in 2024. Replaced by the one from 34073? Some while before that it was reportedly out of traffic undergoing a middle cylinder rebore?

    Which is why I said "the parties involved" and "at the very least". If the owner and potential operator have the will then it will doubtless happen but it's pure speculation in any case. It would, perhaps, explain why Braunton is apparently lined...

    I'd be fairly confident that reinstating/upgrading those systems wouldn't be seen as insurmountable to the parties potentially involved if they have a will. At the very least if 34046 is to be reitired for an extended period, some of the kit on...

    As colas replaced wc for ecml thunderbird duties there is a little irony

    They were both from Newark. The odd thing is, they're really meant to be used to clear the line and 34067 was already off the train and in the down goods loop out of the way. I'm not sure why they were used to drag it all the way back to York.

    Totally agree. It isn't a criticism to say that original Bulleids have unique set up and maintenance requirements but with the right regime are capable of astonishing performance. As you say 34092 was exceptional, especially after the Geisel...

    67’s travails have nothing to do with why the Bulleids were rebuilt. One only has to look at how good ‘92 was on the main line as well as 67’s performances earlier in her main line career to show what they are capable off. ‘67 has sounded well...
