Everything would have to be done by contractors. The NRM no longer has a workshop.

Another workday with five people attending saw the weld repairs to the underframe of #676 completed and then the undersealing finished. Then the "old "W" iron had to be temporarily bolted back so the wagon could be moved in a shunt next week....

In no way am I trying to criticise anyone at the nymr in my post, and I understand the immense challenge of maintaining a large and varied loco fleet running 5-7 days a week with such steep gradients and mileage. What I would say, though, is...
