Thanks for the attachment, @guycarr360

 

If I see anything else of note with PM it.

 

Good news from Martin Walker http://royalscotsgrey.com/0/2017/11/29/7594/

I'm sure there will still be doom mongers wringing their hands "But the new owner likes kettles..." etc

 

Of course there will. I, after a particularly cr*p few days culminating in the death of a close friend, find this news very comforting.

 

Good news indeed. The Lord of Calderdale will be pleased!

 

Wonderful news.

 

Imagine a Blue Peter / Deltic combination tour!!!

 

D'you think that'd shut up those who complain about a "box on the back"??!!

My first ever tour was Alycidon north and Tornado south. Fantastic.

 

Either one of 'em out of KX to York, return leg with the other one. The organisers would have a 'Fully Booked' job on their hands. And I'd be at the front of the queue for a ticket

 

That's what I did in the tour I mentioned, @Victor - and it was a sellout, even Premier Dining was full!

ETA: sorry, you're referring to the two Deltics, aren't you!

 

I notice that Locomotive Diesels Ltd. was previously Locomotive 47501 Ltd., the name change being made last December - what's the history?

 

I'll take a Deltic either way, but Tornado/Blue Peter one way and a Deltic the other would, IMO, be a dream tour.
Book me and my staff in premier dining.

 

I can certainly say the trip I did was pretty good, yes...

The Christmas dinner I had on the tour with 46100 last week was superb

 

Isn't it fairly common knowledge that Premier Dining seems to be where most of the demand is these days anyway.

From recollection all LSL loco's seem to have their own Ltd company, I assume there is some legal or 'Trust' reason behind this?

 

The tour last week had a good few empty seats in my carriage.

 

Could that not be put down to the fact that your tour was on a Thursday, departed Ealing Broadway at Stupid O'Clock and had a box back though?

 

You realise exactly that is happening next year, don't you?

 

We did Bolton to Kings + and back with Martin's other beast in 2010.
