    As I said above, but seem to need to repeat…. 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...

    In true railtour website style I see the Great Western shows a destination of Kingswear when it appears to be going to Plymouth. Copy paste alive and well in Crewe as well as Kings Lynn.

    Loco and tender would always travel separately, but essentially we need one lorry trip for the move, rather than two. So there is a saving on transport. Tom

    Hasn't run at the Bluebell since 92240 was withdrawn ca. 2000, but the "Awake the Giant" group have been restoring it over the last few years, as the first part in the eventual project to bring 92240 back. So the aim is to have that completed in...

    Interesting. The WL website roster still shows 4247 as the Alresford loco for the 2nd to the 4th September. I wonder if a problem has been found? It looks like she has been out for a test run going by the picture on the roster page. We were going...

    Not sure why, but a friend on portering duty at Ropley today has advised me 35005 is in steam and NOT 4247 as expected. Glad I didn't make the effort to go down today after all.
