    To quote one of the guys we work with recently when speaking to a client; 'Your lack of planning isn't our emergency'. I would expect this will be the ORRs stance, and I would be disappointed if it wasn't. Chris

    Why should the Scottish Government fund something that other private companies have successfully funded themselves - imagine the response from LSL and VT if West Coast received public money for this!!

    It seems to me WC is acting as if a crisis for them should be an emergency for others. What is fundamentally different now to the application for exemption made in early 2024? Logically the only difference could be the concession to a fitment...

  9. Bluenosejohn gefällt Beardys Beitrag in dem Thema Jacobite 2026.

    Personally I don't see why West Coast should be given an exemption nor do I think they should be given one - They have had a couple of years now to fit CDL in Mk1s but have chosen not to (at least until recently if what you say is correct...

    Thank you ! It's been quite difficult to keep this under wraps for the past few months, but I'm sure you'll agree that it's been worth the wait ! We wanted to avoid dribs and drabs of poor quality images in various stages of sanding down,...

    Whilst I get the gist of your comment, it would be poor of me not to mention the amount of effort that has gone into the repaint. According to SVR News not one transfer has been used, Ronan O'brien has hand painted every single letter. Personally...

    Excellent news from the 13809 Preservation Society. <BJ> Locomotive 13809 is one of only two surviving ex–Somerset & Dorset 7F 2-8-0 steam locomotives. Built in 1925, it served faithfully alongside ten sister engines until withdrawal in 1964,...
