    In a quick review of six BR reports of tests where sorting out the drafting was a primary purpose, or was needed before testing could be done (for half of which Ell was stated to be on the team, not all list the team members), the V2 and Jubilee...

    The concept of a steam centre sadly hasn't stood the passage of time with Tyseley and Carnforth now essentially engineering bases and TOC hq's . Dinting closed and Didcot has made the best of it creating a fabulous showcase of all things GWR...

    In case anyone's interested, the old Ford Prefect which appears about 4.18 was and still is mine!

    Yes, 2968 - or 13268, after 56 years I can't get the hang of calling her that! - will run with the correct Fowler tender. The first main line runs used, as acorb says, 5110's Stanier tender while a new tank was built for the Fowler tender. She...

    So when is 7325 joining it? :D I had some epic runs behind that pair. Plymouth (62 late Exeter, 17 late Plymouth! I believe the return was just under an over after a signal check outside Exeter), Okehampton, first steam run up the Lickey.

    I don't want to get into the SVR's politics but I imagine that, like the last set of main line outings, the engine's use off the SVR will be restricted to off-season dates when they run shorter trains with the smaller engines. I don't off hand...
