    On the contrary, I think there would have been a lot more respect. It would have left open the question of why the sudden closure, but I like to think that a more open communications culture would have avoided that particular bear trap

    This morning (Tuesday 7th April) the complete smokebox with the door assembly and chimney was hoisted back onto the chassis ready for the Open Day. Not only that, but the fully finished plain axles (those for the intermediate and rear driving...

  5. ghost liked Dan Hill's post in the thread 6024 King Edward 1.

    I think those images appear to come from an account on YouTube, who posted a YouTube short of the loco moving. Glad to see 6024 in steam again. Personally I hope it does end up in matching GWR livery to 5029, because (in my opinion at least) the...

    I was fortunate to be able to visit Cranmore engine shed yesterday. 46447 was outside in the sunshine with more parts being assembled. What struck me was the average age of the young fitters as it was probably only in the mid twenties. Well done...
