Dan Hill gefällt John Petleys Beitrag in dem Thema 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...

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...

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...

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...

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.

I wonder what the prospects are of a triple Malachite line up in the near future is? With s21C107 due to return next year, 21C123 having it's boiler worked on and 34081 due to go in for overhaul very soon it could end up being a possibility....

Sounds like an interesting development. In Steam Railway's latest issue SLL said that they felt of all their on going restorations, it was probably the easiest to tackle, but as you say it's at the bottom of the list of priorities right now,...

I've been mightily entertained by wibble on another forum where the matter of 34007's tender was being discussed. All manner of solutions were being proposed but nobody ever mentioned the possibility of 34081's tender being the answer. A few...

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...

New issue of Steam Railway has arrived today and has seemingly answered my question and the plans for it going mainline. According to them, the loco will carry it's 1948 transitional livery of Malachite Green with the number s21C107 on it's...
