  1. Dan Hill odgovara u temi 35025 Brocklebank Line.

    I would have thought 35022 would have been a more likely candidate (which in some ways would have been full circle, as the MNLPS original choice for preservation), with no restoration work planned for it and seemingly no work carried out on...

  2. Dan Hill liked Flying Phil's post in the thread 35025 Brocklebank Line.

    There is news about 35025, as SLL shareholders are being asked to approve the transfer of Brocklebank Line to the Merchant Navy Locomotive Preservation Society (they own and run "Clan Line"). As 35025 had fallen behind both Sidmouth and Sir...

  3. Dan Hill liked Rander's post in the thread 35025 Brocklebank Line.

    Email has just gone out from MNLPS that sets out this is not their intention, though the boiler will be given high priority so that Clan Line can use it if necessary. I believe '25's boiler is in pretty good condition.

    In the Down Main section it says that negotiations with a main line operating company haven't begun yet for 34007, but the hope is that it'll be on the mainline by mid 2028, after spending 2027 running in on the MHR. The SLL feature says that...
