Returners, New Entries and Departers 2019

So its the season to review what will be working on UK Std Gauge heritage railways in 2019.

To kick off - SVR - newly returned to traffic - 75069
newly restored (having not yet worked in the preservation era) - none
due to go out of traffic - none

 

WSR - newly returned to traffic - 7828 for start of season; 9351 later in the year
newly restored - none
due to go out of traffic - none

 

I think you'll find it has, it was a mainline runner, seen here leaving Ore Tunnel, Sussex

 

Maybe but that was pre 1994 - the point of the thread was to review what's changing in 2019.

 

The original post does not say 75069 had not run in this era, that reference has "none" as its note, however wrongly posted its a nice shot.

 

You actually said having not yet worked in the preservation era but it certainly has

 

I think you are misreading the post. It is three categories on three lines:

Returning in 2019
Steaming for the first time
Last year in ticket.

So Watercress might be:

Returning: Can Pac
Steaming for first time 499
Last year in ticket 9f

(This is a hypothetical example not that I am claiming this is what will happen in 2019)

 

I'm obviously reading a different post to you, then.

 

FR / WHR

Returning: 87, Lilla(?) (Do these count as they have both been in service in 2018, but are having a rapid turn around 10 year overhaul)
Steaming for first time in preservation: 130, Welsh Pony(?)
Last year in ticket: none

 

Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway

Steaming for first time: Whillan Beck and Katie
Returning: River Esk
Going out of Traffic: none

 

53809 maybe?

 

I'm pretty sure Whillan Beck and River Esk returned this year and Katie returned last year?

Nice photo! No wonder the crew are leaning out, they'll need a lungful or two of fresh air after that load of clag inside the tunnel!

Richard.

 

ESR:

Newly Returned - Hopefully 5239 at the end of the year
Newly Restored - None
Last full year in ticket for 5637.

 

92134 and Cockerill 0-40VBT are due to enter traffic for the first time at the NYMR, whilst Lambton 29 should return to service there.

 

53809 has already returned, she was in steam end of November and has been running Santa services.

 

Not when it's run today

 

KESR: Newly returned - 32678 Knowle (subject to conditions).
Newly overhauled - Too soon for 4253, so none.
Going out of service - 376 Norwegian. Catch it while you still can!

 

How many years is Maunsell's overhaul likely to take?
(Subtext: how long have I got to raise the money to sponser a repaint of the pair of them into authentic Ashford Works livery?)
