    That is true, but losing the utility of the full boiler ticket of two locomotives has meant a greater overhaul burden tha would have been the case.

    Agree with your comments, but we must remember that none of these engines were ever designed or imagined to have the cab full of people that they seem to have nowadays. A driver and fireman was all that was intended with an occasional visit from...

    I could never come to terms with a loco that had a bonnet. At least the GWR didn't call the running plate a skirt. ;)

    Here's a view of it during its reversal at Chester South Junction yesterday for those who like to chew over what's missing/changed etc. RE an earlier comment, both my wife and I commented on hearing a regular "squeak" when it passed us during the...

    See this post: https://national-preservation.com/threads/6024-king-edward-1.1424246/page-4#post-2968039 The TL,DR is that the width over cylinders has been reduced by over three inches, via a series of modifications each of which is individually...

    Why wouldn’t it be gauge friendly? It’s been heavily modified to be gauge friendly.

    Not at the moment but that doesn’t mean to say they won’t. And frankly good on LSL for stepping up and doing it. The ORR are heavily focussed on working at height and falls from height, and I don’t suspect it would be viewed kindly if a person or...

    Well, that was some week! Herding cats on Monday damn near killed Muggin's 'Ere, it was a long hot day, but all involved enjoyed themselves, and so did the loco crews and guard, which is what it's all about, and makes all the hard work put into...

    I was on the "Wine Line" train last night. 4 Mk1s (including kitchen car 1973) and a BY. Showery weather so the rail was wet. 41312 managed very well up to Alton and back and the up to M4M and back thank you!

    A day with up and downs. Personal highlight was Odney Manor climbing from Williton to Crowcombe Heathfield with 7 coaches and a van. Manors as impressive as always.

    Agree 100% - 41313 will be a popular visitor. Having already crossed the Solent on different occasions to visit the Bluebell, Spa Valley and Swanage railways, perhaps this loco ought to qualify for a "frequent traveller" concessionary rate with...
