    Hi Anthony

    Is there any chance you could provide a bit of an update on the modern traction at the NRM I have visited a couple of time over the last few months and the 40 and 37 still seem to be in the same condition that they were in Feb.

    Many thanks

    Hi Matt, I will when I get time, but the 37 IS having extensive body repairs in the Works - there are big holes in the sides where new platework is to go in, and as for the 40, we are sourcing new bearings to allow repairs to take place. All is not as static as it may seem...a lot goes on behind the scenes!

    Thanks Anthony for the update. I appreciate the time it takes to do these things and understand the frustrations with suppliers. Didnt think for a minute things would be standing still just curious as to what was slowing progress.

    Many thanks
