    MHR Restorations and Overhauls

    I didn't ask while I was in the workshops today but I'd guess that 34007 won't be running this weekend. The remaining job on her was to repair...

    MHR Restorations and Overhauls

    I'd hazard a guess that 8th-10th May services will be 45379 and 850. The U and 92212 are away and 34007 is in the wheeldrop shed for some valve...
