Not sure if 41313 will be in action tomorrow as a few pictures posted on the MHR friends Facebook page earlier today showed work being carried out with the boiler in Ropley yard. Hopefully the good folk of Ropley MPD have sorted the problem....

I asked about hire costs a few months back. I was told (by someone who would know) that 60103 was a significant financial success, 60007 covered costs and 60163 a flop. When it comes to 31128, 37688, 47077 they were needed due to lack of "home"...

I'm not as clued up as Tom on technicalities or as eloquent in debate as 35B. I'm not into corporate law or administrative jargon as Lineisclear appears to be. I attempt to speak plainly. The points I've been trying to make have been critical of...

The reasoning behind it (that I’ve been told) is so that 80151 can be part of the line-up of Standards on Saturday at Horsted Keynes. It also means it can double head with the other engines and be facing the same direction, which massively eases...

It’s not the what but the how. At every single step at the moment the NYMR creates and reinforces a bunker mentality. None of what is being done is necessarily wrong, but the way it is being done is tone deaf. I mean how does anyone interpret...
