    Give him a chance, he's got about 500 pages of catchup to do first! :) (And that's to say nothing of the WSR and L&B threads... :eek:)

    EA will no longer be active, but the company will continue to exist legally for a while, as things are wound down. The B&YVRT will now do the land purchases, and more that EA could not do. We had a shareholder's meeting, and the vote to transfer...

    Even if the T1 successfully broke the record, for 99.9% of the world it will all be a bit "meh". A bit like the efforts people spend with old Grumman Bearcats and Sea Furies, going to Reno to try and become the fastest ever piston-engined...

    No one will care about a new speed record, any more than they’d care about a formula 1 car made of Bakelite. It’s an arms race no one is competing in, a curiosity and little more. Mallard is an emblem of much more than a number. Simon

    I agree that there is absolutely no chance of seeing Mallard run close to 100mph in the future. But as a restoration candidate for more modest mainline and heritage line running, I can see a considerable opportunity in having the loco operational...

    That post is so open and helpful. And on the 'other' side of the debate I think that enthusiasts/travellers also need to recognise that creative and dynamic pricing is sensible. It's what happens on the big railway all the time.

    Nice picture there John. I was working there over that weekend and was the afternoon guard when the loco worked back to Mallaig that day, having turned during the lunch layover at F ort William. Here is the train standing in Lochailort station...

    76079 did go up to the WHL in 2008, renumbered as Fort William’s 76001 it took part in the photo charters. It wasn’t a lot of use on the Jacobite as it was restricted to hauling six coaches on the Mallaig Road [ATTACH]
