    Just bumping this thread to highlight the fact that the new book is superb! As well as a detailed history of the loco it's telling the wider story of the railways and the preservation movement. Fascinating read and I haven't put it down in 5 days...

    You are far from alone in that. Excelent to see the 9F make it in to the shed. Aviemore has excelled in turning out locos to an impeccibly high standard, this one will be some sicht when finished.

    [MEDIA] Popped down the road to Shrivenham to catch D1015 flying past, heading to Paignton. Lovely bit of Maybach Music to start the day! If you watch the video, I hope you enjoy it :)

    What a bizarre remark. Hopefully you should have registered - but clearly didn't - that I was pleased to see that the load had been dropped back to something that the loco could handle without help. That's why it would have been nice to be on it....

  9. William Fletcher liked bristolian's post in the thread 6880 Betton Grange.

    I'd forgotten about the driving wheels. All things considered, it would appear that they've created a superb loco, in fine condition, working pretty much straight out of the box.
