No.6024 King Edward 1

6024 'King Edward 1' reported in steam at Bristol Barton Hill this evening. Let's hope that the owner, Jeremy Hosking, manages to obtain an extension to the loco's main line certificate. <BJ>

 

What does <BJ> mean? In this context I mean, not generally, I already know that.

 

Boiler Certificate expires the end of March 2011.

 

Slightly eccentric interpretation?

 

He is not the owner !

 

6024 is due to arrive by rail via Alton for the Mid Hants Spring Gala soon, maybe lt's being prepared and checked over.

6024 was not actually in steam yesterday or last night.

 

Who is then? If it's the Royal Scot Trust I think we can safetly say he is the owner...

 

I thought the legal nature of a trust is that no one individual can own whatever assets are 'in trust'?. He or she may have a big say in what happens to them, and materially, that might look as good as ownership, but legally it is not...

 

When will it be in steam next Martin?

 

That's how I understand it. BBLS is a trust so no matter how much we members think we "own" 34081 as individuals, we do not in fact own it at all in the legal sense.

 

Has 6024's fire been lit at all this week? <BJ>

 

A small fire was lit under the arch to bake repairs made to it and warm the boiler gently, no steam was made. Smoke at the chimney does not necessarily mean steam in the boiler.

 

Thanks for the reply. <BJ>

 

Nice to see the King has passed the boiler test etc and has gained certification for another year of mainline work.

Nice Shot Nick, looking forward to seeing 6024 at Guildford again on route to the Mid Hants.
