Nothing apart from the means to pay for it. Now it would have to include CDL , retention tanks.

At one time back in the gung-ho pre-Covid past the Trust was proposing a rake of Mk2 or Mk3s retrofitted with toplights c/w video screens streaming live footage from loco cams etc. There was even the inevitable livery debate with LNER cream and...

Let's celebrate the fact that Ian Riley's locos have lasted the tour without any major problem. It's a testimony to the care his fleet gets and tbh is more than West Coast deserves given the manner in which they have played it with other parties...

If I wanted to highlight it I could have inserted a screenshot. All I've done is commented on a video clip just as any other member of NP can, without expecting to be criticised by you for doing so. Dave B

Given the current situation with WCRC and ORR the last thing I'd expected to see today would be someone with their head, shoulders and arm out of a droplight on a WCRC train. If you look at @nige757's video around 3mins 3o in you can see him...
