Anybody know when 76017 is likely to be re-wheeled? It seems like the frames have been ready for an absolute age, yet so far it is still up on...
Even better would be 34058. Anybody got any idea when the MHR might embark on its restoration? I'd like to think that it won't be too long after...
Nice to see that initial steps in the overhaul process are being undertaken on 35005. A new blog can be found on the MHR website here:...
No AFAIK she is running with the new build tender that was built at the W.S.R. The ex 35005 tender is destined to go behind 35027.
Nice to see that the DRSA has now set up a separate operating company, Granite Line Ltd. Also note that Roger Webster is still involved. All...
Lovely restoration job, well done guys. It wont be too long before we will have 3 out of 4 remaining Standard 4 moguls running with 76079 and...
Could not believe how shabby the WCRC class47 was. If your going to substitute steam with a diesel, at least put something half decent in...
I suspect the old bridge will be given over to sole use of the MHR, providing there is nothing wrong with it structurally. The new bridge...
Actually, the running shed was acquired from Plenty Engineering of Newbury by way of a donation I believe. I know an appeal was launched to help...

Well done to all at WCRC for reviving a total Barry wreck. I Look forward to her forthcoming career on the mainline. Now 45699 is finished and as...
I hope regarding the Sunday Rover trains, that Devon County Council force the issue on this one. They have put in a considerable amount of...
What exactly do BARS own re: Dartmoor Railway? Is it the brand, or just rolling stock plus a lease on the line. I only ask as the freehold of...
I am not saying it isn`t beyond the capabilities of any established heritage railway to restore 31874. I am actually very optimistic about the...
Totally agreed Chris, the amount of money needed to restore it would probably mean that someone of say Jeremy Hoskings calibre would be required....
Totally agreed, hardly the rusting basket case that some forum members seem to describe it as. Also the loco whilst not in great condition is...
Disturbing news regarding this iconic ship if this story is in fact true: End of an era for the QE2: Iconic cruise liner sold as scrap to Chinese...
Also 30828 being overhauled by the ERPS boys, and at some stage in the future 34058, especially if 34016 leaves the line in 2014.
I think the £100, 000 quoted for Can Pac is to cover the cost of boiler repairs. The mechanical overhaul being done in house, will be relatively...
Thanks for the info 21B and the outline explanation of the events that led to the decision to eventually abandon the 127 DMMU project. I accept...
