From my experience 42xx are very good at making business for spring manufacturers. Some of the failures were spectacular. Transport by road was guaranteed to cause problems with springs sooner or later as were any dropped rail joints. The spring...

With regard to the WHR, if you're a WHRS member, you get 10 free trips a year, so the cost shouldn't be an issue for the member. Yes it might be an issue for other people in the party who are not members, but membership costs less than a full...

I would assume given the locomotive for this trip was never formally announced, these Mk1 with CDL must have only just been finished otherwise they'd have been out last weekend on the Cumbrian Mountain Express. So probably RTC didn't want to risk...

A welcome return for a much loved locomotive. I don't think that West Coast should be given any grief over doing this without any fanfare. After all, I imagine that a few people in the company may be feeling a bit sheepish about the whole fuss...

The thing on my mind now is will 34067 spend the Christmas season working out of Southall Depot. Now there's a CDL rake which I assume will be based at Carnforth, there's plenty of vacuum fitted locos there to do the trips, meanwhile in the south...

Quite correct but no reason why, when a cat looks at a King, he should not comment on what he sees.

Noted from a video posted on another group that only one door per Mk1 vehicle seems to have been CDL fitted. Other doors are presumably locked shut. Assume this meets emergency evacuation requirements?

Just booked on the Darlington - Edinburgh Tornado trip, looking forward to it immensely. Times and GUV should get us a great trip. Can see a Planet Hollywood meal and a couple of pop's, during the stop over, being taken. First trip, since just...
