Sheff liked guycarr360's post in the thread Tornado.
That may be your view, she certainly is putting in the miles. Going to be quite honest, and say the most recent ascent of Shap from the South, gave the impression of very little work being done by her. A soft drifting almost silent exhaust, and...

Was this in an official capacity of the trust? Again, point to the place where it was explained? Why is the fact its been finally made good after much wasted time and money the end of it? What is being learned Welding is not new technology? The...

Sheff liked 35B's post in the thread Tornado.
The standard is one of honest, frank, communication - not what we saw last year. And of course it's welcome that Tornado is now running. I doubt that I or @Bikermike are alone in wondering about the ability of the Trust to meet it's own, self...

Sheff liked Kylchap's post in the thread Tornado.
Tornado seems to have been performing without problems since its reintroduction to the main line. Hopefully that will lead to it being let out on its own for some tours. It was not being pushed when I saw it passing through Lincolnshire on the...

Sheff liked Steve's post in the thread North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.
