    Back in March 1999 80098 ran an evening railtour named The Night Owl, which was a circular trip from Nottingham to Sheffield, (out via Barrow Hiil and return via Dronfield). It was originally supposed to be an ECS run to test out a new spark arrestor, but was opened up to the public. I remember it being a very enjoyable evening out.

    I think that spark arresting has always been a key element of a FTR exam. I wouldn't be surprised if Network Rail is building up a list of main line locos and their individual success in containing what they produce. 6024 would be quite a test, I think.

    I doubt it. Almost certainly dragged with rods off. It's out of ticket and has serious firebox problems. Very sad.

    Let's hope that the tender axle boxes manage the journey without any of them running hot again.

    Didn't say they should, but it's their loco, yet other people are telling you what condition it's in.
