    The Nord 4-6-0 was loaned to Didcot by the Science Museum for a while in the mid 1980s. It was a De Glenn Compound, a type which the GWR had experiemented with in the early days of the last century.
    Here it is in 1985 facing the Swindon built 8F (8431) from the KWVRduring the GW 150 celebrations. 85-5-29 42 3.626 8431 copy.jpg

    The 80 tank was owned by Ulrich Kroll who was the Bahn Direktor for the DB Essen area. He was a good friend to Steamtown and a contact point that allowed Peter Beet to bring the 012 pacific to 10A.

    I got along well with him, to the point he arranged for myself and a colleague to spend a whole working day on the footplate of 044.585 (Wanne Eickel Depot) working coal trains to Power Stations in the Rhur. Incredibly, we got to do it a second time a few months later with 044.650, just before the depot closed to steam operations. We had the same driver too, Artur Engelmann (who spoke English).

    The listed building consent application for the removal of former grade II listed Selside signal box, currently collapsed in Steamtown, to repair it and re-site it at Long Bank Farm, Clapham was approved by Lancaster City Council earlier this month.

    Was there no obligation on WCRC to maintain this?

    In theory yes, but it depends on an LPA having the balls (and financial/staff resources) to actually apply the process and most Councils just don't have that capacity any more.

    A video shared locally today suggests the box has already been removed from Steamtown.
