She looked good passing Pegswood northbound, seemed to be accelerating as well.
I would comment that the trip was advertised as a steam hauled tour and that is what was given. I am sure that those folk on the Silver Jubilee...
What is the situation on this piece of equipment anyway, is it redundant, is it sold, is it any use for mainliners or, as mentioned elsewhere,...
This really does show what loco restoration is all about! Well done all those folk, how rewarding on completion. Now, do I contribute to SKP tubes...
Discussion on this site used to be quite interesting, now it is becoming less germain. Better be careful incase anyone gets upset,folks. Seems...
It is my understanding that the 72xxx engines would have been welcome on S&D route as that route had similar curves and gradients to the scottish...
Indeed, and if you were needing a new tender for a mainline standard then this design would be the one to build. I can't argue with that comment....

Just to advise folk that the website has been updated and shows an incredible amount of progress over the last few months. Yes, lots still to do...
