    Hot box on GBXVII as well. And haven't there been others with this loco? Not the luckiest of '5's it seems.

    Perhaps not lucky in terms of failures, but I think lucky to have such a good custodian in the form of Mr Riley and his team who know these locos better than most. I’m certain it’ll be back out soon.

    Perhaps as mentioned elsewhere 2025 is not the year of the railtour!

    Did anyone get any more than three failures? Those of on the 100 mph run with 34013 will understand this

    Always in threes... 70000 also has not had the best record, with its catastrophic failure down the road from me at Chilworth.

    On the tender I hear.
    I wonder if it can be towed away for repairs or needs to go by road?

    In view of a tender axle running hot, I'm surprised it's timed for 60 mph!
    Presumably it's 45212 and support coach as I can't see a WCRC diesel path coming down from Southall to do the towing.
    Let's hope this path doesn't cause delays to Saturday holiday traffic.

    Yes, they'll have to weave in between all those packed 'bucket-and-spade' extras!
