    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...

    Thanks for the clarification. I wasn't sure if he was a part owner of 76017.

    Owner. Not owners, it was the same individual in each case.

    That’s X-rated stuff. If she was a horse she’d have been put out of her misery long since. Remind me just how much people paying to be part of this? I suppose at least for those in the Mk2s their ears are spared the agony.

    Well, at least it was on the train and did the leg it was booked for. But by all accounts it was a day of dual haulage. In another context we sometimes might joke (rather unkindly) about someone not being allowed out without their carer. It...

    We also "lost" a couple of operational locos when 31806 and 76017 were taken away from the railway by the owners.

    I would probably also suspect that once 75079 is up and running it'll probably be the loco out the most frequently. Good size for the line, regardless of the service, cheaper to run I would expect then some of the other locos on the line and if...

    I think 75079 is more likely to be completed first. Perhaps sometime in 2027. In the latest Ropley round up on the Watercress Line film units, In the loop series on YouTube. Will gives an up to date progress report. It appears the boiler is now...
