silversteellady vond Wozzy18's post leuk in het topic Sandringham New Build.
Apologies for the delay in giving an update on construction but I have been out of the country. So I have attached just a few photographs from the recent Open Day with the Hengist Group at Diamond Engineering in Sheffield. They are hopefully...

silversteellady vond David Mylchreest's post leuk in het topic V2 4771 green arrow to return?.
I'm not sure whether a new build mono-block cylinder casting would be possible. They were thought of as the pinnacle of casting processes in the 1930s and I'm not sure that such a thing would be possible today. My thoughts are to rebuild the...

silversteellady vond acorb's post leuk in het topic The 10A Allocation.
Hats off for turning 45110 around so quickly, with everything that has gone on at 10A I thought it would be a low priority. It also justifies the sale by the SVR, who could never have turned it around this quick. Hopefully it stops at Toddington...

Spare a thought for the footplate crews who will be sweating their knackers off, especially Monday !

silversteellady vond brennan's post leuk in het topic 1466 - GWS first loco.
Well I'm not commenting on the rights and wrongs either only to say that I've seen photographs of the problem areas of the boiler and "not for the foreseeable future" is a fair assessment.

silversteellady vond cksteam's post leuk in het topic North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.
That's interesting. Not that I believe they would ever sell Repton I thought they did own that one. To be fair, when it comes out they will no doubt be pushing for a relatively quick turnaround on it, assuming that is possible. Just looking at...

Currently in the later stages of overhaul. It was predicted back in traffic later this year but the safer bet would be early next year I think. 2027 is the Centenary for that engine so its always been the target to have it back for that season.

silversteellady vond SECR 65's post leuk in het topic North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.
What state is the S15 825 in? Isn't that having some form of work done with the view of returning to traffic in the not too distant future?

I have heard that a Black 5 is coming on loan due to the extra work required to the Q6's firebox and the ongoing work on Repton. The Thomas loco that is coming/being hired is the one from the East Anglian Railway Museum.

silversteellady vond Steve's post leuk in het topic North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.
It could have been. When there were previous problems with the bridge, some 40+ years ago, NYCC argued that the bridge was the responsibility of the railway as it was built out of rails by the NER and on the old formation and was thus railway...

silversteellady vond Jamessquared's post leuk in het topic North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.
Maybe North Yorks CC could provide a footpath diversion over a nice wide former-rail bridge parallel to the footbridge which, although no longer strong enough to bear the weight of trains, should still be plenty strong enough for pedestrians...
