    Ivatt 46447 from the East Somerset Railway announced as the fourth visiting locomotive. So there will be three Ivatts operating together for 41312's final Gala before withdrawal. Sent from my XQ-BT52 using Tapatalk

    "Horribly wrong" I would suggest is a significant over reaction. It failed as older locos and indeed modern ones do from time to time. The train got rescued and went to a different destination but arrived back at Crewe 2 mins late

    Kidderminster TMD was an incredible investment by the SVR and associated diesel groups and has paid dividends in recent years by providing the SVR with a top notch diesel fleet in enviable condition. But it is also an admission that without those...

    I would have thought 35022 would have been a more likely candidate (which in some ways would have been full circle, as the MNLPS original choice for preservation), with no restoration work planned for it and seemingly no work carried out on...

    And 35010 needs the same cylinder replacing, so make up two identical ones from the moulding, job's a good un!
