Who on here has a grudge about the NYMR.? I certainly don’t I do have a strong concern about how the railway is being run and the direction it is going in, as do a significant number of others, including volunteers and paid staff.

W Well, you asked so here goes. In normal times and with a 7 coach train I reckon on 2500 gallons for a round trip. As the height of climbers is pretty much the same in both directions that puts it at about 1250 gallons for each direction over...

I guess the point being made is that the vac-braked locos and the air-braked stock are both independently compliant with mainline regulations, but are incompatible with each other. While at the same time, the carriages that are compatible with...

Very much so and what was the case 5 years ago when 62005 was last up there might not be the same whenever the loco is ready to return I suppose. The Moors might be a more appealing option if it gives access to a bigger support team.

That’s ok so long as your pool of support crew is deep enough with members either retired or with sufficient holiday leave available?

The support crew at FW I assume will be volunteers so there must be a strong element of enjoyment to having a working holiday in the Highlands. It's been quite a while since they had the pleasure though now.

and possibly the one or 2 NCB south Wales that were scrapped? 9792 survived into the 70s at Maerdy I think

Very true, NELPG must be tired of the whole saga now. Its been nearly 5 years since the K1 last ran. Not sure how contractor dependent NELPG is but presumably the boiler is being or has been done at Carnforth. So, again, no point rushing it for...

The Jacobite has often seemed more appealing to NELPG than seasons on the NYMR, presumably for income reasons, but the logistics of supporting the loco at FW must be onerous compared to Grosmont.

In which case I'm sure that the NYMR would have snapped it up for their Whitby service. However, the way things are going, there's no rush for that, either.:(

If they are not air braking the K1 and there is no vac braked stock to pull = no rush I suppose.

K1 is a 116 diagram boiler vs 100A on the B1. As I recollect, 62005 was originally acquired as a source of spare boiler for 61994/LNER 3442, the K4. Thankfully the K1 wasn't canibalised after all and NELPG got hold of it. As to the current state,...

Will the excursion day 22nd April be different if the Jacobite hasn't commenced by that stage? Or would the GB stock be used in any case?
