    The original receipt from Woodmans may or may not still exist. And any subsequent changes of ownership share(s) may or may not have been properly recorded. To resolve the 34105 ownership issue would need someone similar to a forensic accountant,...

    They certainly do have very real more pressing issues to attend to. 34105 discussion can be parked up in the Nat Pres headshunt.

    Agreed. Suggest this discussion is parked. MHR has much more urgent priorities in getting other locos back in steam to address the current issues.

    Further discussion about how to resolve the 34105 situation here is unlikely to elicit any further information or provide a useful strategy to move forward as what is known will not be disclosed for what I hope are obvious reasons. May I suggest...

    Re:34105 Does the bill of sale receipt that Mr Dai Woodham would have handed over to the railways representative still exist to this day? It is well documented from other locomotive group transactions from the era that he would have handed over a...

    I am not sure that it is the long term plan to hold 35005 for galas and special events only. Whilst I would agree that it isn’t, and never was a suitable engine for ordinary service, needs must. 30506 we hope will be repaired and back in...

    You may see “Dave” + diesel a bit more. Indeed if the Alton set is 3+PMV which might be enough quite a bit of the time, then Dave could probably manage that on its own.

    I would hardly suggest a line as short on motive power as the Mid Hants losing one of their resident locos for a prolonged period is anything other than on the bad side of things. Regardless of what locos you want to see at a gala, this has...

    The lift happened after mid November. the plan was to use the crane that we used to put the power unit back in Lion but they weren’t ready in time so they had to use another to do it.

    Yes I think that the agreement allows the MHR 10 years use, before SLL can then determine freely where it runs subsequently after the next overhaul. There was a rather large cash amount that the WLHRT held in a restricted account from the late...

    I'm not so sure about short term hire, If the MHR is going to hire another of SLL's fleet, it needs to be a longer-term hire, possibly involving more than one engine over that time span, What I mean is it has to include the time when 34058...
