    Its there, but without allocations as yet - they'll be added sometime next week - you just have to scroll down to the picture of 45379 and click on the link.:D

    Read elsewhere (video captions on youtube) that 777 was failed at the GCR yesterday. Don't know how serious the problem is? Will she make it to the MHR? Lets hope she does...............

    Also heard 45379 failed a steam test the other day. Is this true?

    The Black 5 was in steam last week for a boiler inspection according to the MHR Loco Shed news on Wednesday. Doesn't say anything about the outcome though..........

    I believe (so I've been told, reliably(?) ) it was a packing gland, so nothing too serious.

    Again from what I've been told, it was Thomas, and not 45379.

    So lets wait and see..........................................................

    You're welcome James!

    Just been reported on the 777 thread as a leaking washout plug, so either way she SHOULD be there! :biggrin1:

    :happy:
    Lets hope so Lee!

    Given the fact that this happened on Saturday, if it had been something serious, then something would have been said by now..................................................... certainly will be nice a nice change to see her in her current paint job :happy:

    T9's tender was being unloaded at 11 this morning, didn't see the loco or 33053. All gone when I next looked at 13:30!
