Dan Hill liked Chris86's post in the thread 35025 Brocklebank Line.
I feel like this is great news, and I hope that the feeling from inside the organisations involved is similar! I do hope that 35025 does return to the mainline, I have memories of seeing her at Loughborough when I was younger and thinking that...

Dan Hill liked green five's post in the thread Mid-Hants Railway | Autumn Steam Gala | 2nd-4th October 2026.
I think it is a great line up. 6989 will get families attending the event which is good for the railway's finances and future. Okay so the Hall isn't in her correct livery but taking black and white shots will overcome that issue. A shame that...

Dan Hill liked John Petley's post in the thread 35025 Brocklebank Line.
I hope your post and communications with MNLPS members will reassure people such as such as @Steamage (See his post #309). He has raised some perfectly valid points - to which I could add the issue of support crews if both 35025 and 35028 were...

Dan Hill liked John Petley's post in the thread 35025 Brocklebank Line.
I'm another small shareholder in SLL and I too support this move. The MNLPS has said in the past that one loco is quite enough, but SLL said in the past that it wasn't interested in main line running. Being willing to re-think as circumstances...
