    I think the MHR owns something like a 75% stake in the loco, with the original owning group owning the remaining 25%. I think the Swiss individual has just provided funds for the overhaul.

    Think he has underwritten the overhaul to a significant extent. Also a Director of R&S (E) Ltd, Bury, where the loco is being overhauled. He's German, but lives in Switzerland, heir to a fortune made from chocolate .... "34007 is owned by...

    Reading the latest SLL bulletin, it is mentioned that the proposed tender swap with 34007 has been revived because there is a new plan for the loco to 'go mainline'. https://southern-locomotives.co.uk/News/news.html in the section for 34072...

    My heart hurts for the Churnet Valley. These sort of incidents can be broadcasted within minutes of what happened. No time for the heat to come out of the sting of the incident before it appears online.

    I think this has been mooted many moons ago and, as you pointed out in your earlier post, the KWVR is a fine example of how otherwise unused assets can be put to use earning money rather than wasting it. Grosmont itself has a splendid success...

    https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1CdGDxR8k8/ Loco is fresh out of overhaul, possibly first public service. Single coach, so either a shunt or rest of stock has been pulled back? Rail Support Services in attendance, so not a ‘DIY’ recovery job....

    Getting slightly off-topic but since the KWVR's excellent food and drink offering has been mentioned, it's worth noting also that in addition to the Old Parcels Office at Keighley, they also own a pub just opposite the station in Haworth. As I...

    We (or at least, I) don't know what is included in the quoted £250K. It may well include the hire of the scaffolding and propping until it is no longer required and not just the installation. If I was costing up the works, I'd have certainly...
