  2. 2857Harry replied to the thread Railway200: The Greatest Gathering. Derby Litchurch Lane. 1-3 August..

    110 because of brake force I believe. Not as many brakes as the big set to slow you down. I think any HST that’s 2+5 or smaller is limited.

    As far as I know it was having a few bits sorted in Crewe after it returned from the SVR. I think it was due in the paint shop a week Monday.

    It would seem not. To be honest some of the routes are a bit strange, and the steam haulage is a bit minimal.

    I can only imagine so if it’s gone. That’s what it normally means.

    Nope. They aren’t wrong. But they don’t all have the same business structure. The same overheads. The same lengths of line, etc. Some don’t have as big a diesel set up either. There’s a multitude of reasons, and what’s good for one might not be...
