I believe you are correct about the swaps, however I would assume that 34072’s current tender will be repainted for use with 34007. There may be other work required on the tender for mainline running so it would make sense to repaint it after the...

A couple of random things: The planning application to reopen the 3. 3 mile Bristol to Portishead line is 80,000 pages long. In general, I understand that Railways have steaming agreements in place for any loco's they run on their line and that...

hang on, surely the first question, assuming that point about steaming fees is true, is ‘why?’ - followed shortly afterwards by ‘do they need to be?’ And then by ‘what happens when amortised over a longer run?’ (Regardless of the answer to...

At this point I’m almost tempted to start counting the many and varied ways in this thread in which your personal hobby horse (to which we always return) is the solution to problems real or imagined. We’re *well* into double figures. Do you...

I'm sorry to say this Colin, but I find a lot of this to be absolutely mind- numbing, and I do find myself automatically zoning out of it. I'm sure I'm not alone. I'd guess that 99% of us on here don't wish to see the L&B as some kind of...
