I really hope this loco gets somewhere this time. It's had a sorry and undeserved history: 15 years working for BR followed by 55 years changing...
I feel the same way, but a K3 is a long, long way off. A bit too far off for me!
Agreed. A1SLT have always made a point of stating that Tornado is not a replica. The "product description" of the Haynes Manual is written by a...
I think, if we take it in turns, we could all cooperate and find reasons to rubbish every CME and every class of steam locomotive that has ever...
The initiated will know the difference. The uninitiated may not know, but it won't matter to them. Many will think that the A1 and the A2 are both...
Really looking forward to seeing this loco in action again.
I received the apology and explanatory letter from VT over the weekend. In the circumstances they find themselves in, I think they've acted as...
An improved roller bearing A4 would certainly get some financial support from me.
I'm in exactly the same position. The trip I was booked on last October was cancelled so I transferred the payment to a trip next April. I've...
Exactly. I'm a member of the NVR and it's my nearest heritage line, but I find it difficult to be enthusiastic about it. It's beginning to look...
If my memory is correct, the V4 was faster and more stable than the K4 on the level stretches of the West Highland Line but couldn't match the...

Several people have mentioned certain jubilees as being *special* and Holbeck seems to have been a place that treasured them. What was it that...
Before considering taking her on for mainline work, any operator would need to establish clearly with Network Rail which routes could be available...
A Gresley K3. https://sp.yimg.com/ib/th?id=OIP.B_ytQOusgSXOUGxlHB9TSwHaD7&pid=15.1&rs=1&c=1&qlt=95&w=224&h=118
I booked myself on this trip purely because I had never been hauled by 60009. When the Duchess was cancelled for the return leg, the chance to...
I wonder how many loops the LNER had that would take that with a full load. They had enough problems with the P1s!
I, too, would love to see a K3, the first of Gresley's big-boilered locos. I remember them in their final days on coal trains to March. The last...
46100 was bowling along nicely through Lincolnshire on the outward trip yesterday. I wouldn't have thought the ECML going south from Grantham...
