Great replacement locos. I have waited since 1985 - when I first saw (4) 6115 at Dinting outside the exhibition shed - for a ride behind her so thank you! 3850 will also sound good on the SVR and be a draw. Sent from my LGN-NX1 using Tapatalk

Thank you for your efforts Harry & co. Sounds like you've had a hell of a week trying to pull rabbits out of hats. I'm sure it'll be a great event as usual. And always good to remind everyone how good it is to have a GW 2-8-0 on the valley...!

It’s only been 3 weeks since my last update but we’ve had a good month with work progressing at leaky finders, LMS Loughborough and the GWSR. At LMS the two piston heads have been split from the rods. As we’ve had to take out more metal in boring...

I've just enjoyed 80 miles of steam haulage today behind Erlestoke Manor at the WSR. It is a superb locomotive and handled the banks with ease. It certainly is a very popular loco with the WSR crews. [BJ]

It is funded through the WMRE. It’s a really joined up, collaborative scheme which is designed to test the water. There’s no loser in it at all. SVR get paid to run it as a contract job, so can’t lose. WMRE fund it, and get the data needed to...
