One thought I would add to the mix. The major stumbling block to 7027 has been the lack of motion. 6 castles went to Barry of which 2 went to...
My understanding is that 7027 was originally purchased from Barry and earmarked for restoration in her own right, however in the mid 1980’s the...
Hi Bob I was stone cold sober at 5pm on the train I must be going mad! Hope all is well
I went past the depot by rail today and saw an engine in steam on the turntable end of the yard. It was pitch dark so I have no clue what it was...
Awfully strange- she had a huge repair at Tys in 2006-8 at huge cost. seems very strange to retire her 6 years into that repair after relatively...
When PW bought 7027 IIRC there was an agreement to share parts with 5043- which is why the tender tanks got built at the same time. Tyseley- as I...
She was lifting furiously through Deal- Looked a fabulous site and bang on time- sad to hear all was not well
7027 does need a white knight. Probably a miracle. When waterman purchased it there was a tacit agreement that Tyseley would part share for 5043...
Hmmm difficult for armchair fans to moan at either, Riley, Carnforth or Tyseley. All,have made an incredible mark on railway preservation. It's...
Does anyone know the current situation with this engine? Has there been progress fixing the issues with the horn guide alignment? Will...
I saw it both ways at Walton on thames. The clank on the way to London was quite distinct. I'm not an expert though. Before people go mad things...
Congratulations carnforth. Recall seeing the carcass of 5699 at carnforth bridge north and tyseley. Remember my Dad saying she would never run...
Clearly my post was Ott and out of line. I regret some of the language. However it stemmed from deep regret of what the abortive restorations of...
I'm sorry bullets is extreme and it was not meant literally. I don't think the story of the scot or Scotsman put the movement at all in a good...
I speak for many others but the position regarding Scotsman is disgusting. 1) for the previous owners to have butchered the engine was impalpable...
The engine was a forlorn wreck. I saw it atfarnforth aged 5 and tys aged 15. Smith is not going to take the p1ss and pretend its re-emergence was...
I was told by a reliable source on Thursday on the vintage trains trip that the engine was Leander. Hed been on the shed a week before and crystal...
The boiler was in excellent condition having been overhauled at crewe only shortly before withdrawal.
I have donated twice to Tyseley for both Castle's- on both occassions Bob Meanley wrote back to me personally. I'm therefore very surprised at...
The basic problem with "contract out" is that if you cant do the repair yourself you run the risk of those who can charging you more if problems...
