I agree with that but maybe the cost of acquisition for a new owner proves a barrier too? I seem to recall there was lots of interest in 35025 at...
A very wealthy person with direct access to workshop facilities. Even if a major new investor appeared on the scene, as has happened down the...
Most likely 7027?
No, can't disagree with your rationale there sadly. Must admit the WC/R&SE "tie up" was where I could see scope for an arrangement of mutual...
Riley's operate 3 Black 5s already, only two of which tend to be needed at FW at any time because the K1 is also available. As you rightly observe...
There are already plenty of suitable locos for the Jacobite, what is needed more widely is versatile class 8s. Is there a body with resources,...
Fairly sure the 45699 unfit rumour has no substance and started inadvertently by @Johnb erroneously thinking it had failed last time out. There is...
Devils advocate Steve, WC would get the same return if they used the 8F on the SSE give or take a few quid? I agree with BigAl though, its a...
No, my argument is that a loco with nominally lower TE but smaller drivers will be "better" at starting a train than a bigger wheeled loco with...
Haven't seen the discussion elsewhere but sounds quite heated. Is it any coincidence that the subject matter involves a certain Lancashire based...
Not forgetting that if none taken at Appleby more water might be taken at Hellifield. Now who owns that water supply ....... ?
The water dispute was reportedly only affecting Dalesmans because they are WC whereas RTC, SD and Statesman pay for the water directly. Clearly...
Can't recall being reported as such, 5690 had a problem last week on The Fellsman but the 10A fleet seems to be very free of in traffic failures...
I believe it was @RalphW reported a couple of weeks back not much doing on the 6201 front. For what its worth, I'd heard the opposite in fact but...
That's what I think too Steve, not sure where the rumour neither fit has come from.
Aside from the circumstantial evidence of 5690 being helped home last week, is there actually reported issues with either of them or is it...
Well unless the temporary incapacitation of the 5Xs reported above ends during this week, there ought to be a York 10A move at some point so the...
It does. Acceleration away from stops will be quicker with the combined efforts of two locos but although the cruising speed will be reached...
A smaller wheel has reduced radius which means revolution takes less time and surely therefore the next piston stroke begins sooner to provide the...
