    You know how things go; Class 2 = 2 coaches, class 4= 4 coaches, class 7 = 7 coaches.

    If that were true I'm intrigued how 8 coach trains were allowed, as the highest classification was 7 (88 & 34053) :p

    It's a joke!
    Based on some truth from the cautiousness of some Operators......

    I rather suspect - at least I hope - that a tongue was being firmly inserted in a cheek! Otherwise, I'm at a loss how our H class (class 1) takes four coaches up much steeper gradients than on the SVR, and our two P classes (class 0) would never be allowed out of the shed!

    Although i believe it is the method for working the Conway Valley line. Anything that takes more than their classification seems to have issues.

    That picture of the 45xx on a freight is just the nuts for me and my favourite.

  16. There were some questions on the progress of the other 7F 53809 at the Midland Railway Centre. I visited there earlier this year and have posted pictures of the work for all to see. The boiler seems to be finished and hopefully by now may have been reunited with the frames.
