    that's a Fowler tender right enough. The 4F would be the most likely donor.

    Yep. She ran with the 4F's tender for a while in the 90s.

    I suspect that after spending such a long time overhauling 34092, that he deserves to turn his attention to the pub for a while. After that he may turn his attention to the pug!! :) :) :) :) :)

    Uploaded a few more of the Derby 4F 43924, a real workhorse of the KWVR. Despite the bearing troubles which dogged these engines in LMS and BR days 42924 continues to work hard.

    Too right! Don't know the guy - but everyone who's spoke about him and his team have said that he is a true gentleman.

    If I saw him without a pint - I'd buy him one.

    On the same shed visit when photographing 75078 alongside was Taffy 85 or Taff Vale 0-6-2 No85. I have put the picture on the blog and a report as to progress and expectation.

    Great news. Two SR-based engines back on the KWVR in the space of less than a year. Seems like a visit to Yorkshire would be a good idea before too long!

    I am sure you would not be disappointed. There are of course the two wartime engines recently completed at nearly half a million for the two of them and we have the Black Five 45305.

    I've been to the line a few times in the past but not since 1997. 34092 and 75078 would be my "dream ticket" if I was planning a visit, but 43924, 90733 and 45305 would all be welcome. I'm afraid that the S160 does nothing for me, but each to their own!

    What I like about a short line like the KWVR is that you can have a good day out including a decent ride and a chance to take some pictures too.

    Well I am sure you will get a visa. Wells should be with us for the next season as it has not got main line fittings ie ATP etc. And 90733 will I am sure be storming up and down the line along with 75078. There is now quite a good stable of engines on the K&WVR

    Are you taking an early holiday 'cos the sun comes soonest in the north?! Joking aside it'd be nice to see it with 75069 in a few years time perhaps at my fantasy LMS/ Standards Gala! :)

    Well it would make the third class 4 in steam. Green Knight has a boiler cert till 2021 so maybe all three together soon. I think 75069 has a lot of boiler work to be done and as we all know that's where serious cost often comes in.
