2004 was the year the main line return plans fell apart. The awarding body, RESCO, lost all the existing paperwork so there were no grandfather rights left over from the 1996-98 running. We would basically have started again with fresh surveys...

My experience of S15’s is limited to 825/841 but I have nothing but admiration for them. They may not have the ease of prep and comforts of the BR Standards but they are strong, sure footed and fantastic steamers.

There's got to be some advantages in having 3 similar locos based in the same place (if you include 828) in terms of maintenance, crew familiarity and resulting economy in use. I have often thought that S15s seem well suited to some of the...

That is not the question. In my experience the question tends to be how much effort does it take to keep a Bulleid able to do the work compared to other types. The Jarvis rebuilds are tons better in this regard. The originals are difficult to...

Although I get the point that a Merchant Navy is a very large loco for operating 5 coach trains, it remains the case that the cheapest loco to operate is the one you have available right now. In other words - 35005 may burn a lot of coal, but the...

I seem to recall that 45379 was suffering late in its previous operational stint with a frame crack- wonder if it will need more major work this time round to enable another 10 years operating.

That is pretty comprehensive, thanks for the summary. I do find it slightly ironic that while the concerns over 35005 being too large have been well aired since before it returned to service, it has also been the most trusted steam loco in high...
