A photo of 2857's Left hand valve with new front valve head can be seen here......
No problem. Thanks for your concern. The front cylinder cover was indeed removed at Bewdley. I won't comment further until I am furnished with...
The SVR has recently changed suppliers, partly due to some fairly well publicised spring failures. Therefore, the replacement springs required for...
Have seen a couple of photos of it today and it looks mint! A credit to all you wagon boys! Is it likely to have an outing at the ASG?
Cheers for that Patrick. I did wonder whether there were charters/FE's out this week, but was too lazy to check the WTT's. An extension of 3650's...
I would expect 4566, 43106 and 7812 will operate the midweek services. Not sure if 28's failure may have a bearing on how much longer 3650 remains...
I believe it is the same arrangement as for previous ASG's on the SVR. Available to pre order online (expected delivery date early Sept) or at...
You've got until the end of January for an additional visit then Matt! I don't really know what to count 34053 as if i'm honest. I suppose I...
The locations recommended so far are all good. I'd also recommend walking down to the river from Arley. If you take the riverside path turning...
Hi Matt. Yep, your best bet, if you're planning to be around for just the one day, is the 1 day rover. Gives you unlimited travel throughout the...
Yes I believe it is. I will hopefully be attending on the Friday of the gala. Looking forward to seeing 4247 in the flesh, as well as experiencing...
1501 was indeed due to have it's insurance steam test today, but I have not heard the outcome as of yet. Assuming it passed, running in is very near.
2857 has today passed it's insurance exam and is immediately available for service. Congratulations and thanks must go to Duncan & co for their...
Big day today on the valley. Steam tests booked for 2857 and 1501, as well as 43106's end of washout cycle test. Heres hoping for a series of...
Worth pointing out that this will be the Coal tank's first, and i believe only (away from the KWVR at least), gala in LMS livery. LMS coal tank on...
Panniers are well capable of taking eight over the valley. 57' & 77' have done it on a fairly regular basis in the past but, as with 4566, doing...
1501 is infact a surprisingly smooth rider, certainly no rougher than a 57xx. 2857 is indeed booked for a steam test this week, i am told...
Fantastic, booked on 19th August trip so I'm looking forward to a bit of Castle music!
I am told an initial loan of three weeks is planned. By that time 2857, 4566, 34053 and 1501 should be available for service.
Ah, thanks for the clarification Ben. Classic example of the inaccuracies of mess room gossip!
