    With its cut-down boiler mountings and slimline cylinders, 6024's appearance is no longer 'authentic' for any part of its working life. So, arguably, it really doesn't matter what colour they paint it now...

  2. Mick45305 支持 JamessquaredFire Risk 内发表的帖子.

    A lot of good points in there. To take the Bluebell as an example, we have something like 30 drivers, but only around half of them have diesel competence of some kind. Moreover, for the class 33 and class 201 that had generally lapsed at the...

  8. Mick45305 支持 LMS2968SVR Loco Newsy News / discussions 内发表的帖子.

    The shareholders of Boscastle Locomotive Ltd received excellent news recently that there has been a full and final settlement of the insurance claim following the theft of parts three years ago. It is said that this will cover about 90% of the...
