    Funny the details that some people notice and others don't. For me the give away that this isnt the real 76001 isnt the cab but the Southern lamp brackets on the smokebox door. I believe that this is because 76079 had its last overhaul down south...

    Nice picture there John. I was working there over that weekend and was the afternoon guard when the loco worked back to Mallaig that day, having turned during the lunch layover at F ort William. Here is the train standing in Lochailort station...

    76079 went first to Fort William in 2004 for a private charter over the late May Bank Holiday and then ran a public train the day after. As John says it was then at Fort William in 2008 during the photo charter. On both visits it masqueraded as...

    76079 did go up to the WHL in 2008, renumbered as Fort William’s 76001 it took part in the photo charters. It wasn’t a lot of use on the Jacobite as it was restricted to hauling six coaches on the Mallaig Road [ATTACH]

    Thanks v much for the info. My notes say that I had 63395 from Pickering to Grosmont and 76079 from Grosmont to Whitby on 22 April 23 so that sounds like it may well have been it’s v last trip. And I attach a pic at Whitby taken on that day....

    That post is so open and helpful. And on the 'other' side of the debate I think that enthusiasts/travellers also need to recognise that creative and dynamic pricing is sensible. It's what happens on the big railway all the time.

  12. Mick45305 支持 45698MarsJacobite 2026 内发表的帖子.

    A nice thought but it doesn't really make sense. Note too that the WCR Jacobite website advertises "heritage Mk2 coaches". If I had a nice shiny rake of CDL fitted Mk1's then why would I send it to work with air brake fitted locos in Scotland...

    I fired 76079 to Whitby on the 13.30 ex Grosmont, then through to Pickering and back to Grosmont on 12/4/2023. On shed it was found that the tubes were leaking yet again. One more attempt was made to expand them and I think it was tried once more...
