Great to see her back. Splendid loco. Far to short a return though as 4277 was back on over the weekend. Hope it's routine and not a snag with 7827...
Unfortunately they didn't arrive in time for my dad's birthday on the 17th. Does anyone know how long it takes on average for them to be sent out?
Thanks for the update Rory. Helpful, as ever! Interesting re the clearance issues on the Paignton line - I wonder if that puts into question the...
OK, thanks. Hadn't thought of the gauge/speed restrictions. £6k - not cheap. How does this compare with road haulage?
Interesting that it is still cheaper (preferable?) to transport a loco by road - given it is a mainline-registered loco and to a...
Just ordered 2 copies - one for the old Man's birthday - one for me! Can't wait!
Yes. Kinlet hall to be pilot from Newton Abbot over the banks on a regular RTC jaunts this summer. Allocated to Churston/Paignton Shed for the...

Yes I saw that too. I guess to cover shortages due to 5239, 7827 and 75014 being under repair. Will be a hark back to the early 90's when...
Agreed. Get that chimney covered up at least, or get her under cover. An operational loco with a good coat of paint and well oiled up would...
Paignton & Dartmouth rly There were power cuts in Paignton this morning. Maybe that had something to do with it ?
Hopefully its too early in the year for much of a haze, unless some Brummy living by the track is having a bonfire!
Passed Broadsands at 1315 going well. Magnificent machine!
Chap doing a line check today...

Last week the 25 moved a load of coaches down to Paignton, and the embankments have all had a haircut, so I guess things are gearing up. I wonder...
The down line on the Paignton branch is still jointed from Aller to Torquay. Having listened to a HST wheel flat constantly pounding the CWR from...
