To be honest that's a fairly minimal cost compared to the cost of restoring the whole train. If they can raise the money to restore 5 coaches then...
Exactly. When the IOW units are withdrawn I would have thought the LT musuem would only be interested in them for spare parts for their restored...
At one point there was a plan to replace the trains with 1972 tube stock, when it becomes redundant in London in about 5 years. I have a feeling...
Sounds a good idea. A few years ago the steam railway hired it's class 03 and a couple of wagons to island line for maintanance work. They had to...
Yes that's the theory behind the plan to extend to Ryde. It would still require some track work and resignalling so that the steam trains could...
The Terrier on the Spa Valley Railway, and one of the KESR Terriers were used on the IOW in SR days. No doubt the IOWSR would like to get their...
I think the reasoning is it would give their trains a longer run, but at less cost than extending the line to Whippingham or Newport. No filled in...
What about the extension to Newport that has been talked about in the past? Is that still a possibility?
Very nice. Makes a very pleasant change from being yet another loco in BR livery.
It left the railway several years ago. I believe it is stored in Portland, at the same place as 35018.

Being relatively new, I'd imagine you'd have to outbid foreign railway companies and other UK operators if you want to buy one. That's if they...
Agreed. However some people are reading too much into this. Just because it has a bit of red primer on at the moment does not mean it's going to...
Yes there was talk of doing this, so Tangmere could be turned on the Swanage turntable. I don't think the modification was ever done though.
Some interesting wording on the Bluebell website about this: Rather than 'being stored at Eastleigh' or something similar. and.... Rather...
It makes you wonder what the Bluebell actually want 3417 for? The idea of having it on display at EG to publicise the extension made sense, but...
I don't think it's so much that the WSR see a Manor as more appropriate that 2874. It probably has more to do with the fact that 7821 is a...
Until the Blubell open the extension to EG, a timescale of 2 years has been talked about although that may be a bit optimisitc. After that 3417...
What would be the point in doing either of those things?! The VEP is there as a source of publicity for the extension, and to give the Bluebell a...
Probably because he could get more money by selling the egnines as they were to preservationists, rather than the scrap value he got after paying...
