I would probably also suspect that once 75079 is up and running it'll probably be the loco out the most frequently. Good size for the line, regardless of the service, cheaper to run I would expect then some of the other locos on the line and if...

Wiki says built in 1906, so I'm afraid you have missed contractual limitation by a mere 120 years. Unless the contract was executed as a deed, it's only 114 years late. That's before you get to the problem of privity of contract. I hate to...

Due to clashing with Epping and Ongar's gala, and other personal things meant I could no longer do two days to the event as hoped. But Friday, the timetable ran mostly to time all day albeit with a few 5 minute slips a few times before a 10...

Very noticeable that there was a younger demographic* (& lots of families) present this weekend. Obviously good news for the future, but it only takes 1 or 2 idiots - I have witnessed it at both steam and diesel events. However, the younger folk...
