    Lots of good sense there. A4s of course were well known for middle big end problems and this us an area where maintenance cannot be neglected. Lets hope it's sorted soon as I think there is already a shortage of engines for next weekend

    You have, a few times.
    Look through this lot.

    He made a meal of the Tangmere incident on Hemerdon.
    Just trying to stir the brown stuff.

    A few examples.

    "Its a lovely noise wouldn't have minded being in rear coach listening to that all day"

    "37 out of Weymouth with a spoon hanging off the back.
    Wouldn't mind seeing that,
    Good job there's two diesels given the scrap,sorry spam cans track record,of failing to get up hills or just failing.."

    "Not a silly debate when they were ment to take the 47," Repeated again today!

    "Maybe in future, the diesel will be taken along, instead of being left in bristol...."

    "The Devon banks are set to be alive with the sound of sulzer."

    Need I say more?

    No you do not. Well spotted, as have many other people. More generally, there's nothing at all wrong with folk who have alternative views but an unsubstantiated claim, if the remark about the Duchy is one of these, has no place on Nat Pres, imo.

    I believe last time a loco failed at Newton Abbot it was 5029 Nunney Castle, think that was a hot bearing & ended up at DSR for repair !
    Could this happen with No.9 may be.

    Ah well, look on the bright side, at least we get a LE movement with no9 on its own at some point! An A4 with a hot middle bearing, who'd though it.

    Yes, an original Bulleid slipping to a stand, an A4 with a hot middle bearing, what next? Seems to be the train to see the UK steam fleet performing to their own exacting standards.

    ;)

    Thankfully no other train services were delayed by the failure of No. 9. <BJ>

    Hey, those who demand originality are getting it in spades.

    Now need an LM loco with a cylinder cock stuck open and a GWR loco going at a speed that gets exaggerated for the next 100 years!

    Tangmere didn't slip to a stand. It stalled. There is a difference. 60009 did not have a hot middle big end, it had a hot axle box. I am deeply sorry to all the people who paid good money for this trip.

    Please explain what the problem was? Middle big end seems to be "flavour of the month".

    @buseng , it may be worth listening to @The Man as I suspect he may have been driving 60009 today

    Indeed he may, but only after it broke.
