See the link below for a quite detailed report on the NRM’s mismanagement (until 2012, when they obtained the external help they needed to sort it...
On this forum, in 2014, Anthony Coulls (NRM) said (about the Monobloc/cylinders): "When the V2 was preserved, locos were selected because they...
Because, following the Flying Scotsman debacle, they decided to contract out all future overhauls. That’s also why the unused space was...
No, page 2 makes it clear major overhauls will always be contracted out and only basic maintenance done in-house. This policy decision was made...

Regardless of the circumstances leading to its departure the Ugly (RSH 7667; Stewarts & Lloyds no. 56 now at the Epping-Ongar railway) did several...
