Because Harry, as enthusiasts we give a damn. A number of people on here (myself included) have stated we have not booked a West Coast operated trip for a number of years. The reasons to any enthusiast are obvious. No one is denying that we had...

My wife and I travelled behind her often back then. Some great runs, but for someone with many memories of BR steam out of Waterloo, all were evocative, especially as the coaches hadn't been tarted up much.

That's what I thought too and seem to recollect Tony Bush saying at the time they were optimistic it wouldn't be too bad but naturally wouldn't know for sure until they pulled it apart. Didn't it even have some new wheels made due to cracks...

I'm surprised that 46100 is considered well worn- I thought she had undergone some pretty significant work quite late on in her last operating spell?

They should have a chat with Vintage Trains who seem to have a good selection of routes they can send their Castles! ;)

If my sources are correct which I’d say they are 80% reliable - 46100 and 34046 fall in to the “very well worn out” catergory. 45231 resided in the workshop in Crewe in October with minor bits removed (I had seen a photo of that), with the King...

34067 was a brilliant performer and reliable in the early part of her preservation Main Line career. We always looked forward to a trip behind her on the ML as the performance could be quite spectacular and regularly headed out to see her many...

Let me frame it in a different way then , at 10A she is a fleet engine and an outlier versus the mainly Stanier fleet plus a more standard Merchant Navy . I presume there is not a dedicated 34067 support crew so operation and maintenance is done...

That's either a red herring or bandit country dependent on your point of view. I lean towards neither view. There has been little wrong with Tangmere in its main line work and you have cited two specific cases - Weymouth and Hemerdon - when it...

as others have highlighted 34067 can be a very capable performer, the climb of Hemerdon and the unassisted climb out of Weymouth being some of my favourite footage on youtube . I am also sad it has gathered an unfair reputation and become...

On a visit to the T&DR a few years ago I was riding behind the Manor. It was a poor weather day and the loco slipped continuously on the climb to Churston and we lost a good bit of time. When we arrived at Kigswear I spoke to the fireman and...

Saw a photo of 7827 out and about on Friday so decided very last minute to travel down yesterday (Saturday). Due to two late running trains I got to Paignton just as the 1230 service was about to leave, so went to Sands Road LC and saw 7827...
