    5 year agreement between the NRM and the Heavy Tractor Group for D6700/37350 to be maintained in operational condition. Good news! Hopefully something similar will follow with D9002 and D200.

    Good to see the links between the NRM and GCR are getting stronger.

    I can already picture D6700 with the replica brake tender in front of it and a nice long rake of wagons behind it. That would be a sight to see!

    As D9002 is suffering from a coolant filled engine, due to the intransigence of the NRM, regarding a H&S issue, don't hold your breath.
    The group who did look after her, have re joined the DPS, and are doing a sterling job getting 9015 ready for service.
