Hello everyone, It has been a while since the last finance update, and the hot summer has impacted every heritage railway and tourist attraction that I have spoken to. So, how are we performing? So far this year, we have carried 21,717...

Very useful that they can convert from oil to coal and vice versa in a quoted 72hrs.

Looks like the Bure Valley doesn't intend to stop steam traction for another fire-risk summer: [MEDIA]

Have you still got 592's spare tender if 92240's isn't ready in time? ;)

Loco and tender would always travel separately, but essentially we need one lorry trip for the move, rather than two. So there is a saving on transport. Tom

Hasn't run at the Bluebell since 92240 was withdrawn ca. 2000, but the "Awake the Giant" group have been restoring it over the last few years, as the first part in the eventual project to bring 92240 back. So the aim is to have that completed in...

I think it is more a question of one trailer, rather than one each for engine and tender A very sensible move. That leads me on to another question of any other variations possible of hire locos with already available tenders. Would we see...

All tenders are transported seperately.

Took me a while to see the joke, there! I looked online, and per 92134's page at steamlocomotive.info, as of March, 2026, the "new-build BR1F type tender ... has now been completed and will soon be fitted to its new frames soon. The current BR1G...

That 92240 page says the engine "was withdrawn from service in 2002", and implies it hasn't run since then; so, around 2002, it would seem. Note that that page also says "The last two years have been spent working on the tender", and the June,...

@OldSchoolTrains2 have to agree with the 33s, I did a run from Crowcombe to Minehead on them and the between Williton and Washford it was noticeable how heavy the train was for the D6575 up top!

Echoing the praise for the Diesels at 65 event, would love to see a regular diesel home fleet mini-gala on the calendar as the size of the fleet is just right for this sort of 'mid-scale' event. The double-headers looked great, but the best...

My experience of S15’s is limited to 825/841 but I have nothing but admiration for them. They may not have the ease of prep and comforts of the BR Standards but they are strong, sure footed and fantastic steamers.
