Full kudos to the support crew though - attempting to fix a broken loco in the open away from the facilities of a workshop when the only thing...
I wonder if some of the coaches could also be profitably hired out - a GWR set on the Glos and Warks wouldn’t be too far from their Didcot base...
I think Saphos may be licking their wounds a little - they were prolific on Facebook but not a single post since 'the incident'. A great shame if...
I presume the fact that I still remember ‘The Flockton Flyer’ is no consolation? :)
If it’s the Saphos rake presumably a MK2 coach is lighter than a Mk1?
I wonder whose crews drove 6233 at the SVR gala last year? A class 40 was withdrawn from an earlier SVR gala after the owners had a fit of pique...

Update - there are photo's on the SVR Forum (I dont think it is fair of me to copy these) with the following text:- 'As I understand it, it will...
Agree entirely. We are all railway enthusiasts and this is something out of the norm that we are naturally drawn too. It seems a little out of...
Yes I did follow this - I actually had the day off last Monday and was going to have a day on the Valley but I thought it was too windy for fun on...
According to the latest edition of Heritage Railway 75069 was derailed (presumably just the bogie) and has suffered damage to the bogie, drain...
To be fair the crew and everyone else involved with running the train will have been up since the wee hours and all they have to look forward too...
For interest what is the stopping distance for a light engine at 25mph?
Given the boiler ticket is ticking away would a potential solution be to look at some component exchanges with the either the EMF's already under...
