    Thats as good as read.

    Remember that J B gets paid whether his Loco,s run or not which in my opinion was the best agreement reached at that time though now of course things would be different.

    So what locos does John Bunch own.

    34016
    73096
    31806

    Doesn't he also own 31625 and 31874.

    Though in another thread there are rumours of 34016 and 73096 being sold by him.

    At present it is official that he owns all five Loco,s.

    Rumours abound that 73096 and 34016 have been sold to West Coast Railways when 73096 comes out of ticket in September this tear though I guess it happen if and when it happens, :)

    We shall see

    To stop the rumour mill before it starts rolling:

    73096 LH cylinder bore has suffered some minor scoring as a result of a ring breaking up. The loco should be back in service very soon after repair. It has been taken off the roster as there is some uncertainty about the lead time of the replacement piston ring material required.

    Thanks for the info. There were hints elsewhere that 73096 would not make it to the end of her ticket in September.

    I cannot for the life of me think why you would post something as sarcastic as that.

    Like myself Lee Marlow posted a perfectly innocent statement about a Loco and gets his head chewed off.

    What is this a state secret or something? you need a lesson in manners my friend and at least Lee and myself have the courage to give our own names.

    We do not live in a police state just yet:

    Regards
    Chris :)
