    It just used the standard OC48 path so they simply terminated the path at Oxenholme. Brit due to return to Crewe

    Good to see it coming on steadily. I can't wait to see it out and about, not because I particularly admire the little loco but because work can then start in earnest on 488 (or 30583 as the forum's favourite Owl would prefer). Roll on the return...

    We all know what went wrong but I think it's worth noting that everything was definitely going very much 'right' from the outset and clearly the crew of Chris Page and Jack Gresty were planning on putting on a great show. Leaving Crewe with 8 on...

    Hammering through Leyland earlier in the day, whistle still doesn't sound right for a Brit, somewhat strangulated! [ATTACH]

    Before the problems developed. 70000 at Moore Lane. Warming air meant a thin exhaust, the once clear embankment towards the far bridge is quickly disappearing behind the re-growing trees. [ATTACH]

    I've left my only comment about this trip till after the failure chunter. This was a brilliant trip to drive from Hampshire to Milton Keynes for. It was also a brilliant run with 70000 until it failed. In 2026 I'll buy that! And yes, it is the...

    big end has been the achiles heel of 70000 since her return to the mainline as far back as 1991. 70013 never seemed to have a problem in the same way

    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?
