Under a waxing Moon, 34028 forges past Felhampton, on the way to the summit at Little Stretton. Almost dark as the Sun had set ages ago, there was but a smidgen of data on the histogram............. [ATTACH] Cheerz, Alan

Came through Salop with plenty of pressure for the ascent of Hencott [ATTACH] ...along with some interesting occasional sparks from the brakes of the type 4 on the rear.

Thanks to all the volunteers who make these galas possible. Especially those willing to work the late turns to produce, as mentioned above, something very special. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]

Another great day yesterday and today. Stayed at The Grange in Arley, very comfortable small hotel where you are based in the quiet rural centre of the line. And leaving the Duke last night and walking back in the dark with it's chime whistle...

I have to respond to the above. I am sure the Diesel Traction Group will be delighted with your feedback - but I must take issue with your use of the word 'neglect'. This loco was completely rebuilt around a decade ago and the volunteers went to...

A good day yesterday. Managed to get a good couple of rides in behind the Duke, and a trip in the 'very bouncy' Pug & Judy show. It was amusing being able to see a clear view of the line from the auto-coach over the *top* of the hauling loco! Was...

Yes, he used to be a professional driver on Swiss railways I think. Every time a loco new to ELR came in the 90s he'd hire it for a day of fxp. He seems to have a thing for original Bulleids particularly but MN9 is progressing again too [emoji6]

I think the MHR owns something like a 75% stake in the loco, with the original owning group owning the remaining 25%. I think the Swiss individual has just provided funds for the overhaul.
