Simon makes a fair point here. 37688 was brought in a) for the gala and b) to support with Whitby work thereafter. Both of which require it to...
It says a long-term loan, is that a number of years? The K&ESR are left with Sapper, Swiftsure and 76017 as 'Class 5' locos in their terms - is...
Given that it’s possible to manufacture a replacement for almost any part of a steam locomotive (and tyres aside, we can do it all in the UK) and...
The SVR does have one of the best, if not the best, diesel fleet in the country. I'm sure there's room to use that to their advantage. I know a...
I read somewhere the other day that the visiting 37 has been failed with a faulty vacuum ejector which could keep it out of the gala. Someone...
Cheers Jonnie... which direction will the 33 be facing? ;)
Out of interest, how much would a 122 be able to haul if needed? As much as I’m tempted to ask which long unseen 90s livery is upcoming for the...
I’m in East Yorkshire at the moment (albeit about an hour down the coast from Whitby) and we’ve had some sustained rain overnight the last two...
The general public don't realise that Flying Scotsman and The Flying Scotsman are any different. If anything it'll reinfornce the idea that they...
47714 looks fantastic and it's a great choice of livery. Someone at Wensleydale is a) a fan of the 90s and b) very clever in choosing liveries...
@black5 I suspect that's what was being referred to regarding Repton in the above post - but even so that seems risky if there's a reason they're...
I don't think they own any of them. 47077 is on loan from the D&EPG, 27264 is based on the railway but privately owned, 31466 is Pete Best's and...
Given the importance of Whitby to the operation, this really does seem like poor planning.
As I understand it, the NYMR's current diesel fleet is 37264, 47077, 31466 and 31128. Am I right in thinking that only the latter is passed to go...
They've got Hawthorn Leslie Isabel on hire at the moment so presumably that one, although it does look like Hudswell Clarke Millom is serviceable too.
Separate names with a comma.
