    Excellent news from the 13809 Preservation Society. <BJ> Locomotive 13809 is one of only two surviving ex–Somerset & Dorset 7F 2-8-0 steam locomotives. Built in 1925, it served faithfully alongside ten sister engines until withdrawal in 1964,...

    At least three individuals that could be considered as "they" read this thread, but I don't think it's too rude to suggest that this forum isn't the primary source for the railway's motive power assessment! Having said that, there's no problem...

    I think it has a private owner. Presumably an agreement has been reached with the owner to have it overhauled and operated on the Wealden Rambler dining set. Interestingly, it is one of only a couple of the 70-odd coaches on the Bluebell not to...

    What is its story? (Is it on loan, or rental, or did the Bluebell buy it, or what?) (This seems to be its Heritage Register entry.) Noel

    Fully understand the no steam, although the restricted (mainline) opening on the windows will I suspect make it an unpleasant experience. Always seems warm to me on a cool day and I feel the cold.

    Roster clerks must be some of the unsung heros of preserved railways. In my main department which I volunteer in (platform staff) our roster clerk often has to send out requests for vacancies. Pleasingly a few weeks ago I was able to help out....

    Along with one other person, I looked after footplate rostering for 10 years and it was an interesting challenge. the NYMR uses HOPS for footplate rostering and it is a good tool for doing this. Footplate crews are categorised on a hierarchy...

    "Temporary" speed restrictions due to mounting numbers of defects with track and bridges, I believe. Victims of budget cutbacks.

    The more you have traction and / or route specific rostering, the harder things get - given the mixture of steam and diesel at the NYMR and the need for some trains to go to Whitby, I can imagine that crew rostering is a nightmare - and that is...

    The lack of manual labour for the fireman would be a huge advantage, and to a lesser extent not having the fire hole doors open too. I guess the rest comes down to insulation and ventilation.

    A word of advice; if you are going to Fawley Hill, (or anywhere else where they have open wagons behind the steam loco working hard) don't wear anything that you wouldn't want to throw away afterwards. Fawley Hill is a great day out, by the way.:)

    It's not quite true to say 32424 has failed, and certainly nothing related to Didcot. The clearance between the pony truck wheels and the rear frames is very tight, and that is being investigated to look to see how the clearance can be adjusted....
