Well yes it’s been assessed and the repairs that need undertaking will take longer than the time to the gala. However the question you asked was where it would be repaired and that is not an answer I have.

80100 is owned by the Bluebell Railway plc. For a long time it was being held because an 80000 tank is considered an important preservation objective for the Railway (being a type closely associated with last years of the line before...

4253, 4150, 5539 and 5532 are all on the home straight or heading to the home straight. After them, less clear what will steam next. 5538, 9629 and 35009 are all being worked on in commercial workshops by owners of said workshops but probably...

great to see another 55xx return to steam especially with the surviving examples achieving their centenary in 2027. I wonder if there will be a special event to mark this somewhere next year?

76079 did go up to the WHL in 2008, renumbered as Fort William’s 76001 it took part in the photo charters. It wasn’t a lot of use on the Jacobite as it was restricted to hauling six coaches on the Mallaig Road [ATTACH]
