Yes I think that the agreement allows the MHR 10 years use, before SLL can then determine freely where it runs subsequently after the next...
I visited the railway Easter Saturday, trains seemed very well loaded and the Easter Bunny train was pretty much every seat full. I noticed 506...
The disposal of 73096 in April 2024 to a private buyer is confirmed in the latest PLC accounts uploaded to Companies House this week.
Well that depends on whether there is still ongoing dialogue between the two parties involved. The last time I heard something from someone close...
I believe that a conversation with the MHR team did take place. It was mentioned in "The Packet" members magazine last year that a meeting was...
Interesting that they have to cut open the boiler again, to replace the crown stays. It seems a drastic measure. Is the boiler of fundamentally...
Yes think it is at Lower Woodhill Road, Bury. The site i think, was previously occupied by Veolia waste management. One of the refurbished...
Once 34081 has moved Up North. The county of the Red Rose will be host to five Spam Cans, no less. 34007- Under overhaul at Rileys 34067-...
Lovely Jubbly. I missed 34070 so i can get my unmutalated Bulleid fix later in the year on the MHR.
I'll have to keep a lookout for SA Smith Low loader passing through Pinhoe next week then. Thanks for the heads up.

499`s wheelsets are now in Ropley yard, so a rewheeling this summer or Autumn is possible. Front bogie is all but complete and the copper firebox...
Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year to you Dave and all those involved with the troublesome trucks at Medstead. Thanks for the regular...
Yes one of the shareholders in 80064 is a member of my local model railway club here in Exeter. He has previously volunteered at the South Devon...
I would think the boiler will be contracted out elsewhere. SLL enquired about the boiler of 34058 being overhauled at Ropley, but I believe...
Wasn't it originally envisaged that 35005 was going to be a predominately mainline engine again when the project was first set in motion. I seem...
Yes I'd heard that as well. 34043 "Combe Martin" was similarly a poor performer on the S&D.
The WLHRT accounts state quite clearly that they own a 26.6% share in 34105, so your understanding of about a quarter ownership is correct Martin....
A few weeks ago someone posted a photo on Facebook of 34105 in happier times working on the MHR. The question of ownership came up in the...
In a recent issue of Mid Hants News, board member Peter Smith mentions that the intention is that the railway intends to outshop a loco per year...
