    Yes, turntable at Wansford isn't currently certified to turn something as heavy as an A4 unfortunately

    What is the maximum weight limit of the Wansford t/t, out of interest?

    This looks like a path for 44871 to return from York to Southall after working the northbound train - both light engine and support coach and return charter both heading back via Lincoln, to be back in London for the remaining Polar Express duties

    Correct for the 11th, but above the 18th is the one being discussed.

    Not sure I'm afraid. The cast iron manufacturers plate says 140 tons from memory.

    I don't know what the issue is, but apparently it requires a 5 figure sum being spent to allow it to turn something the size of the A4, so possibly a bit more than just paperwork

    Well, mention is made elsewhere of the ex-Calais 70ft turntable at the Dean Forest... but if five figures is being mentioned that suggests a great deal of remedial work.

    It will need a test run first though after having a new cylinder fitted surely
