    We had a cracking day on the railway today despite the problems encountered with 68067 in the morning and the line side fires in the afternoon. The staff and volunteers all handled the problems brilliantly and kept everyone updated with the...

    And who could blame you - it's a superb loco, powerful and with a good bark. I was filming today but thoroughly enjoyed the gala. Thanks to all at the Mid-Hants. My donation was gratefully accepted at Ropley. [BJ]

    68067 is still in use as we passed it at Ropley at the head of the 15.20 service from Alresford with 41312 at the rear. This is the opposite of the scheduled working. Not sure if 41312 is staying with 68067 as insurance as the rear engine was due...

    68067 was taken back to Ropley on the rear of the heavily delayed 14.25 from Alton. Old faithful 41312 showing how it should be done on the front. We just had a great run up the bank behind the Standard Five on the delayed 14.55. A quality bit...

    41312 dropping onto the 1425 ex Alton with 68067 on the rear from the station announcement.

    You are doing a fabulous job with your updates - now with photos! That is what my above likes are for, not of course for the loco in trouble or the lineside fire. :( Lineside fires could well become an issue everywhere down south very soon....

    The Express is running and on its way to Medstead at the moment behind the Ivatt and S15. One of the Class 20's was waiting in the yard at Ropley presumably to come out and replace the ailing 68067. Sent from my XQ-BT52 using Tapatalk

    Update. We now have further problems as the crews of the Express are now dealing with a line side fire between Alresford and Ropley.[ATTACH] Sent from my XQ-BT52 using Tapatalk

    Currently waiting on the delayed express service at Alresford now with superpower on the front in the form of 41312 & 30506. Sent from my XQ-BT52 using Tapatalk

    Just enjoyed watching 73156 raising the echoes through Ropley on the non stop freight. A superb sight and sound. Sent from my XQ-BT52 using Tapatalk

    IIRC, 70013 was operated on the mainline last time by 5305 locomotive group. 45305 has certainly been used by Vintage Trains in the past, indeed I had a particularly high speed run behind it to Crewe once...it wasn't nicknamed 'The Black 5 gti'...

    Was thinking about the comment on loading. The issue with the MHR is being shorter and therefore the stations being closer together, the problem isn’t that Dave couldn’t haul 6 coaches, but that it cannot keep time with that number. 3, possibly 4...

    'Dave' may be an industrial and is essentially a Hunslet Austerity. Similar Hunslet Austerity 'Antwerp' used tl handle 6 coach trains on the NYMR, which is a steeper and longer line than the MHR so there's no reason why Dave shouldn't do the...
