thank's for the pm, i'm not sure what help i can offer but every but help's..

 

Didn't you say you had a contact at Riddles? I would have though a good place to start would to be to confirm (with photos if poss) if the missing parts are indeed there and if they are still in one piece. Ray.

 

Philgor,before you do anything at all-please make contact via the address I have passed to you. Cheers.

 

Suggest that all interested parties refer to the new Heritage Railway Mag.-up to date and accurate report contained in that.

 

Which says...?

 

Not available on their website, looks like you have to spend a fiver to buy a copy.

 

Thanks, will try and do so later in the week.

 

Sure there will be a handy public service Facebook link posted on here soon

 

For those of us on the other side of the Big Water, who can't just run down to the corner newstand and get one, any chance of a quick summary of what it says? Thanks...

Noel

 

Agree , it won t get here for at least a month or more --- a quick summary would be appreciated -- thanks

 

OK guys - I will PM you with details at my earliest opportunity. As long as you keep me up to date on the UP Big Boy project!

 

Thanks Austerity , appreciate anything you can send us , am sure all on this side of the Ponds ( plural ) Atlantic & Pacific would be grateful for small offerings, regards Big Boy , will send in return anything I can get that's accurate .

Things maybe looking up, story circling suggest the wheels may have been found.

 

The pen of top railway preservation hack R. Jones, in the forthcoming edition of HR, I believe will reveal the latest developments most accurately.

 

If that is the case all to the good. Hopefully the sorry tale will have some good come of it, and some action too.

 

Hopefully, chin up Jamie!

 

Fingers crossed its just the start of something positive for the loco and its owner.

 

I have heard that also, the driving wheels i believe , or so is thought, if true this is most welcome but still nothing has been said about the possible fate of the tender wheel sets , lets hope that police action follows swiftly on those responsible what about the axleboxes, were they removed?
The sooner the engine can be removed away into a secure location the better.
