If you do the sums, 76079 is better suited to the NYMR than a Black 5 and, in terms of tractive effort, it has pretty much the same as a Black 5 in hand on 7 coach trains. Why better suited? A Black 5 weighs more and that extra weight has to be...

The standard moguls were used heavily in Scotland so it’s quite appropriate. As part of the team restoring 76077 I’m looking forward now to a day in a few years when we might see all 4 survivors in steam, even better if 77, 79 and 84 all ex...

Not, perhaps, when the particular "steam" in question is a pale imitation of what it should be and was 20+ years back. and before you come back with another moan Harry, yes I do know how it performed back then, from both sides of the footplate,...

And Austerity No.9 is under active restoration. A long time since it ran and it was a real pillar of steam services through the 90s.

Totally agree Peter, had some happy days on the 76 in its ELR days. Being a Horwich loco gives it a special affection too so I'm glad it has a working future again, albeit rather far from "home"!

No but it was hired in 20 odd years ago and its performance was loved by the Strathspey and Bo'ness crews. Pocket rockets indeed.

Nothing beats a Std tank on a heritage line for ease of footplate crew, fireman especially. Driver too if the 'bacon slicer' isn't too stiff!

Is 80105 at Aviemore just now for boiler work or have I got that mixed up?

“Proceeds the sale [sic] will be reinvested in the NYMR’s heritage fleet and infrastructure” (my emphasis) Which rather sounds like they have sold a loco to pay for a bridge. Probably pragmatic in the circumstances, but even so … Wasn’t 76079...

Sorry to see her go - a capable and user friendly loco and in my opinion well suited to the Moors, especially with the lighter trains that we seem to run theses days. But she does need a lot of money spending on her which it seems that Strathspey...
