34081 92 Squadron NVR

Now in service after boiler repairs at Loughboro'. Took part in this weekend Halloween event along with No 1 Thomas 0-6-0T HC 1800 -1947

 

It's good to have her back in traffic. Just a shame that it's railcar services from next Sunday until Santas begin at the end of November so have to wait a few more weeks before she's hauling trains aagain.

 

Was 92's boiler at LMS in Loughborough?

 

Yes, but it was still attached to the wheels and frames. Easier to transport the loco to the contractors than get them to cart all their gear around.

Now THAT's a cab, fill yer boots you GW fellas.

 

Lovely loco. Would be great to see it stretch its legs on the main line one day.

 

I assume Tangmere could run in that livery, would make a nice change...

 

Oh oh! Livery froth alert!

 

... with "Southern" on the tender and as 21C167 ?

I'll get my coat.

 

She could run in full SR livery as 21C167. That would be very nice IMO.

Edit : daveb beat me to it.

 

Find us the money for a main line spec overhaul and a support coach and we'll give it a go.

 

Not with the cut down tender.

 

Quite so but easy enough to weld the raves back on.

 

It would still be wrong, it’s a MN tender and it would clash with a set of maroon BR Mk1s a bit

 

So what? Would make a nice change from cow pat green.

 

It's Tangmere, you can paint it whatever colour you like. All you ever really see of it is the buffers, discs, and a huge cloud of smoke and steam!

 

Really?

 

Try this if you've missed out on seeing the rest of Tamgmere
