82045 The way ahead?

Special Announcement, with photographs, from the Chairman and Engineering Management: 82045 :: News Update -A Special Announcement June 2024

 

Fingers crossed complete 2025

 

She'll be ready when she's ready, as the saying goes, but she'll be another long-lost NE area class, despite her green livery, to reappear. To see her and the G5 together would be good - and why not add the J21 (oops, NER Class C ) as well?

Congratulations to the 82045 gang. Great stuff.

More likely 2026 to suit the needs of the SVR. An agreement has been reached behind the scenes that will see 4150 return next year and 82045 for 2026 so when they both finish in 2035/6 there is a good overlap so as not to leave the railway short.

 

Excellent news - Well done to all concerned.

I was in the boiler shop on Thursday last week. The boiler and firebox assembly was certainly impressive.

Great to see those forged and machined coupling rods. Despite the naysayers, we still do have the industrial capacity to make things!

 

Other groups/organization's should note the identity of the two companies concerned. These companies still exist, but are becoming ever more scarce. Use them or loose them comes to mind!

Too early for the next update, but YouTube have a video of the SVR Shed with a shiny 82045 on view.

 

An interesting video, although somewhat out of date - it's already a year old.

 

October update on the locomotive.

I was there on 29 October 2011 to see the frames of The 82045 Steam Locomotive.
My only time of seeing them and my last visit to the line.
