The owners of 828 (Caledonian 828 Trust) are quite happy with the relaxed lifestyle 828 has at Tunbridge Wells. It was never our intention to keep her on hire beyond October 2022, but alas, she has been with us for 4 years now, and whilst she is...

Technically, only No. 46512 (assuming you're referring to the three engines currently in service) is in ownership of the railway. Even then, @Foxontour would be better to ask if it's the Company or the Trust that owns it, as I cannot recall that...

It'll help future proof the line as well. Assuming the Grantown extension happens in the next few years, having 5 "big" locos available will certainly help with the extra mileages involved. So it's only 8 miles per round trip, but it'll soon add...

Reading the thread reminds me of the WSR discussion of a few years ago . In that case the heavily criticised management prevailed and the dissenters removed or silenced what happens with the NYMR will be interesting . There are also echoes of a...

The NYMR doesn't need the teak coaches; that's true, but they sure as heck should want them.

Yes for the gradient but only one of them can go to Whitby which is the bread and butter requirement.

Part of the problem is the NYMR has a history of running an company engine and then being unable to progress the overhaul. 2253, 44806 were bought by supporters for the railway. The NYMR ran them and couldn't afford the overhaul, and sold them....

If you do the sums, 76079 is better suited to the NYMR than a Black 5 and, in terms of tractive effort, it has pretty much the same as a Black 5 in hand on 7 coach trains. Why better suited? A Black 5 weighs more and that extra weight has to be...

It always was a distress sale - the question is how much the distress has been compounded. But, given a choice between an NYMR without the resources to overhaul her, and a Strathspey with those resources, I'm glad she's moving on
