Mick45305 liked acorb's post in the thread The 10A Allocation.
Hats off for turning 45110 around so quickly, with everything that has gone on at 10A I thought it would be a low priority. It also justifies the sale by the SVR, who could never have turned it around this quick. Hopefully it stops at Toddington...

Mick45305 liked Gav106's post in the thread LMS Patriot Project Updates.
This is the official notice put out from the project, however I will add a few bits to this and I'm happy to answer. I used to be the sales director before Roger, many of you see me out and about still doing it, but I'm a hgv driver who works...

Apologies for the delay in giving an update on construction but I have been out of the country. So I have attached just a few photographs from the recent Open Day with the Hengist Group at Diamond Engineering in Sheffield. They are hopefully...

Spare a thought for the footplate crews who will be sweating their knackers off, especially Monday !

Mick45305 liked Flying Phil's post in the thread 34039 Boscastle WC class.
It was great to see the six forgings at Shildon on Monday. On all six, a corner had been cut off so that a steel sample has been tested and a report prepared on the properties of each forging. In the machine shop a large CNC milling machine was...

Lovely to see an old friend back in running order. Also very pleased to see 5110 has retained its Holyhead shed code.

Not my pic, but would appear to be confirmation that 5110 has been overhauled (with thanks to @Breva for highlighting the link). https://www.reddit.com/r/uktrains/comments/1tiiu0r/spotted_lms_stanier_class_5_being_transported/

This morning at Woking. Perhaps it's me, but the 34028 cab-side number looks as if it is applied in bold! [ATTACH] [ATTACH]

A marathon or not is irrelevant, the stock may be wrong and there will be no stops to drop off any through coaches on the way but let’s just be grateful that in the 21st century a Merchant Navy will depart Waterloo on a journey where two thirds...

I too would love to see that come to fruition; I suppose it could be done to tie in with it seeing through all but a year of its boiler ticket. And it all hinges on whether West Coast have some CDL fitted Mk1s by then. I’m getting carried away...
