Sounds like we could be in for a long wait then. This loco has been moved around over the years without any apparent progress, like an unwanted...
Many of the locomotive classes that, with hindsight, are seen as successful were not initially so. A period of trial and development was...
Some iconic film sequences there. Does anybody know the date when the last train was worked by a Duchess with the streamlining in place?
I feel the same way. One of my favourite trips was the Talisman on 15/09/18. What could be better than a work-stained A4 from King's Cross to...
Yes I want to! I still haven't been over Shap behind a 5XP, they keep avoiding me, but I'm looking forward to a run behind Scots Guardsman.
I don't think there's much that any of us can say about steam locomotives that hasn't been said before.
During the early days of Tornado's career, well before it was authorised to travel at 90mph in the UK, I was told there had been a discussion with...
They have the bogie as well. I believe that was overhauled during it's last ownership. I also thought there was a "container full of parts", but I...
Tremendous! There are not many individual steam locos that can pull my heartstrings, but 60009 is one of them.
I wonder if it will ever be steamed again.
Now that does look interesting!
I've been on three of the excellent WCME's in the last two years and have not yet managed a run behind one of the 5XPs. Is there any way of...
That's quite some hovercraft!
I understand how upsetting it must be for those of you who contributed to put 6023 back onto the mainline. I'm afraid we win some, we lose some....
I wonder how much extra water and coal it takes to haul a diesel around.
A very reasonable and balanced viewpoint from @Big Al. Thank you. I found this tour very attractive, even when the onward leg to Newcastle behind...
Mmmm . . . 12 on with no assistance needed for "steam heating". Impressive.
That's what I recall, too.
These locos are well suited to heritage lines and deserve the title of "pocket rocket".
Very atmospheric. It's noticeable how light most of the loadings are compared to what we expect from, say a class 5, in preservation.
