    I don't want to be quoted on it, but I'm under the impression that Captain Howey's engine had a catastrophic explosion and it will need both a new engine and a serious amount of money. Somebody in the know will correct me.

    Isn't JB Snell the only diesel there that can operate passenger services? I'm under the impression that Sheleigh of Eskdale's brakes aren't compatible with the RHDR coach's (air versus vacuum?).

    Out of interest here is my last encounter with 80151, taken on 21/4/67, about a fortnight before it was withdrawn. The front embelishment was fine for the run down days in 67 but please dont get any such ideas for future charters.[ATTACH] Peter

    This is self financed by all the owners of the diesels on the line.

    Sounds sensible. Out of all the schemes I hear railways getting up to, I've always felt that getting rolling stock under cover should be the number 1 priority. No point getting more locomotives and carriages if they just rot outside.

    Will try and remember to give something come pay day. What is the plan for keeping them covered? 30k looks quite cheap (relatively speaking) so will this be a simple cover over the sidings rather than a full blown shed?

    Here’s my footage from today’s running if anyone is interested , particular focus on the 72 + 65 double header. Certainly was a hot one, can only feel for the crews today: [MEDIA]

    Maybe the AI underpinning this site is learning from a lot of us and getting very bored with BR black and numbers/crests? Not all of us are dinosaurs looking to recreate their youth - some of us enjoy seeing history from further back recreated!
