Most engines on the SVR are owned by a group independent of the company, either under a family agreement where steaming fees are not payable, the...
Nope, the whole job was done at Bridgnorth. The only bits farmed out were the wheels which went to SDR to have the tyres turned. The Hall's boiler...
We have something planned!
It's still at the proving stage. The official steam test is due on Thursday.

I just cannot understand your reasoning here. That fact that you were there does not give you greater knowledge of what was happening behind the...
Apparently, Riddles had no authority to build 71000 but he hoped one of the Regions would take it into stock to allow post-dated authorisation....
No. In the same way that Baby Scots and Jubilees were built by the LMS to replace LNWR Claughtons and L&YR Dreadnoughts. They aren't LNWR or L&YR...
Most unlikely. Its 100th birthday will be on 24 January 2034. A possible ticket extension and possible mid-ticket retube could see it celebrate...
I'm sure the word least was in there when I typed it! Well, you know what it meant!
We thought about this and giving it the full hit in the paint shop would add between four and six weeks to the launch date. It made sense to give...
I rather hope that we are a bit more than that. Preservation is very much dependent on the tourist market, true, but we also preserve and recreate...
Possibly, but a bit of nit-picking, to be honest. The engines were on the SVR and, like all others, considered to be SVR engines. At that time the...
I don't know where you got all that from. Most SVR locos are privately owned and linked to the SVR only by their respective locomotive agreements....
Possibly, but the report's a bit vague, mentioning Steam, Westinghouse and handbrake. It could simply be saying that the handbrake worked on the...
To avoid patent infringement? Have a look on the footplate of 600 Gordon at Highley!
The front end was painted several tears ago, including the red lining applied by the LMS to mixed traffic locos, but the running plate ahead of...

2968's boiler now in the frames.
There has to be a steam test at twelve month intervals, but it's a routine inspection and doesn't involve dismantling the cladding or blanking off...
