Well I'm not commenting on the rights and wrongs either only to say that I've seen photographs of the problem areas of the boiler and "not for the foreseeable future" is a fair assessment.

Yes John, it's great that a Merchant Navy Pacific is heading to the W of E out of Waterloo again. And of course I support it and hope all goes really well - see my earlier post repeated above. But it's not up to the schedule of just a few...

Not my pic, but would appear to be confirmation that 5110 has been overhauled (with thanks to @Breva for highlighting the link). https://www.reddit.com/r/uktrains/comments/1tiiu0r/spotted_lms_stanier_class_5_being_transported/

Nice and shiney, and in BR livery too, what's not to like!

The lack of AWS magnet under the front certainly suggests that and ties in with other reports. I hope it does get the kit fitted in time for 2028, as it would make a very special recreation of 1T57 if it was able to run with 70013 and 44871 on a...

An announcement that was kept pretty decently under wraps. Well done to the GWSR crowd for pulling off what might be the most eyebrow raising gala guest of the year! Note also, no airbrakes.

Lovely to see an old friend back in running order. Also very pleased to see 5110 has retained its Holyhead shed code.

A marathon or not is irrelevant, the stock may be wrong and there will be no stops to drop off any through coaches on the way but let’s just be grateful that in the 21st century a Merchant Navy will depart Waterloo on a journey where two thirds...

I imagine you didn’t have time to answer the calls Mike as you were too busy replying to all those Facebook tags about the plates in the Crewe auction ;) I’m surprised no one’s worked it out yet though, one clue was nostalgic, another is it’s...
