    Even more interesting! Didn't know that.

    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...

    It was owned by a close associate of David Smith, that may now have changed, but the air brakes date from that period of ownership.

    At the moment it appears to be held as the reluctant flagship of the 10A fleet when their major and proven skills arguably lie more with Stanier designs. Won't happen of course, but it would be interesting to see how it performed if put into the...

    Jammed with fragments of piston or valve ring?

    To their credit, repairs have been completed to Tangmere rapidly in the past. Otherwise there are Black 5s available in the absence of The Jacobite.

    It was owner's choice, as I don't believe 34067 is owned outright by West Coast. It is owner's choice not to fit the others. To me Tangmere has never sounded quite right in recent years when compared to others of it's same class, but it used to...

    Very pleased to see this loco on the way back, the mainline has been missing a King - the ultimate GWR design. There was the disappointment of 6023 becoming heritage line only, & never getting to prove its new chimney draughting arrangement -...

    I think those images appear to come from an account on YouTube, who posted a YouTube short of the loco moving. Glad to see 6024 in steam again. Personally I hope it does end up in matching GWR livery to 5029, because (in my opinion at least) the...

    Was firing 1450 on Wednesday afternoon so glad you enjoyed your day. The run back was a good old trip. Reference the set swap at with the Pannier it is booked every day. The S3 set is diesel out/steam back, and S2 is steam out/diesel back. That...
