At a guess, based on 46115 returning to use late in 2019, the annual certification will have expired late last year and not been renewed because the seven-yearly exam/replace small tubes probably falls due during 2026. Given there isn't,...

@Big Al This was demonstrated some 62 years on the 26th September 1964 to be precise, when, after the Crewe to Carlisle run with Sir William Stanier, SNG took over for the section over the Waverley route, and yes climbed like the best of them. I...

A considerable amount of investment is going into this event, so please do book your tickets to join the party! It will most certainly be our biggest event post Covid. Well done on securing this particular loco to Bailey, Gala Planning Team Vice...

Mick45305 liked S.A.C. Martin's post in the thread Flying Scotsman.
It’s had ten years of rail tours. Ten years of merchandise sales. Ten years of visits across the country where preserved railways have lined up as it undoubtedly fills their coffers. It’s been on the royal train, it’s done a slew of photo...

Lets just enjoy this engine whether it be the mainline or preserved lines and maybe give the NRM a bit of credit for keeping her in steam. She's a wonderful loco and a great ambassador for steam and right now that's exactly what steam needs.

I think it’s largely due to the trespass risk is a lot lower when it’s got a diesel on the front. Which is understandable

The Stephenson link valve gear would give the game away instantly. Either way I’ll take the news with a pinch of salt until any confirmed sightings, but welcome news if 45110’s return is imminent.

I'm not sure where this view that 45110 was in poor condition has come from. The SVR sold it because of the railway's financial circumstances at the time meaning that there was no viable plan to overhaul it in the near future. Every overhaul of a...
