A nice thought but it doesn't really make sense. Note too that the WCR Jacobite website advertises "heritage Mk2 coaches". If I had a nice shiny rake of CDL fitted Mk1's then why would I send it to work with air brake fitted locos in Scotland...

Nice picture there John. I was working there over that weekend and was the afternoon guard when the loco worked back to Mallaig that day, having turned during the lunch layover at F ort William. Here is the train standing in Lochailort station...

76079 did go up to the WHL in 2008, renumbered as Fort William’s 76001 it took part in the photo charters. It wasn’t a lot of use on the Jacobite as it was restricted to hauling six coaches on the Mallaig Road [ATTACH]

Even if the T1 successfully broke the record, for 99.9% of the world it will all be a bit "meh". A bit like the efforts people spend with old Grumman Bearcats and Sea Furies, going to Reno to try and become the fastest ever piston-engined...

Without wishing to divert another bl**dy thread into records, my namesake's record* didn't save it from the cutter's torch :( As for the T-1, have the Yanks even got a bit of track suitable for those speeds? Americans really hate not being...

Thanks v much for the info. My notes say that I had 63395 from Pickering to Grosmont and 76079 from Grosmont to Whitby on 22 April 23 so that sounds like it may well have been it’s v last trip. And I attach a pic at Whitby taken on that day....

I fired 76079 to Whitby on the 13.30 ex Grosmont, then through to Pickering and back to Grosmont on 12/4/2023. On shed it was found that the tubes were leaking yet again. One more attempt was made to expand them and I think it was tried once more...

Probably because the problem was not anticipated at the time. I believe that those stays should have lasted longer than they did. Peter

It has been cancelled for some while, as I understand it due to an engineering blockade in the Wigan/Warrington area Peter

Is the LSWR Brake Third back from its stay in the North East by then or is it staying there until later in the year? Peter

To answer some of this . I'll start with the Black 5's. The two on the line are from different batches so have different size springs. It seems that 44806 has now broken four springs in as many weeks and has used up all its spares. I understand...

Railways and a lot of people. The heritage railway movement has come a long way since I took this picture at Haworth in April 1967. Unfortunately so have the health and safety busy bodies. [ATTACH]
