Given all the malarkey that has gone before there's a bit of me that thinks the best message to give the company, not the crews, would be if the ECS were to run from Carnforth to FW without a photographer in sight.

If CDL’s been fitted to enough coaches a new exemption is not required. WCRC would never announce such a climbdown in advance, if that’s what they’ve done. As usual we won’t know until the Jacobite stock & locos emerge, unless ORR want to...

Miff liked marshall5's post in the thread Isle Of Man Steam Railway.
Once part of Collection X the restoration of MNR No.16 (later IMR F37) approaches completion and it was out for a test run yesterday evening. M.N.Ry. No.16 was built in 1899 by Hurst-Nelson of Motherwell and is one of only two bogie carriages...

Miff liked Mrcow's post in the thread FR & WHR & WHHR News.
Miff is entirely correct. I'm Maddie, I am currently responsible for looking after 120. It is most likely to steam next, although as you would imagine it is a slow process. 120 is in good condition with a recent works visit in South Africa...

In the UK the Darnall Trust are working on NG15 120 so that's rather more likely, in the foreseeable future, to run than 133. Whether on the WHR or elsewhere has not been announced as far as I know. @Mrcow might be the best person to ask. South...

I came here for locomotive news, and came away just having ordered 8 bottles of this! It's an ill wind....

Miff liked Jamessquared's post in the thread V2 4771 Green Arrow to return?.
Isn’t there a question of reversibility? That is, hypothetically you could remove the existing cylinder block and preserve it; and replace with a new set of cylinders (of any construction method, it wouldn’t matter visually); but doing so...
