    All three were out of service by then, although it could be argued that Dom and Hastings were never really in service. Gervase at least did some work in the early years. Gervase's current overhaul is proceeding at Rolvenden, and with Hastings and...

    Similarly, many British retain post-imperial delusions. Americans are on the same journey and will soon arrive. "My name is Ozymandias, king of kings: Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!"

    Speed records are out of fashion. The fact that the current Land Speed Record, held by Thrust SSC, hasn’t been broken since 1997 suggests two things: 1. If somebody was interested in funding a serious challenge the record is there for the taking...

    Even if the T1 successfully broke the record, for 99.9% of the world it will all be a bit "meh". A bit like the efforts people spend with old Grumman Bearcats and Sea Furies, going to Reno to try and become the fastest ever piston-engined...

    No one will care about a new speed record, any more than they’d care about a formula 1 car made of Bakelite. It’s an arms race no one is competing in, a curiosity and little more. Mallard is an emblem of much more than a number. Simon

    Yes they were. Back in the day as a kid I 'drove' the Ugly (aka No. 56, KESR 26 then 29) when it was in steam and remember messing around on the footplates of Arthur and Peckett Westminster when they were rusting elsewhere on the KESR. ISTR...

    From what I can see on t'internet, fellow Manning Wardles Rhyl and Dolobran are at the GCR(N) under long-term restoration. I remember them sat in the linear scrapyard that was the siding alongside Rolvenden platform decades ago. A personal...

    @Flying Phil I suspect you're right. GCR were announced as new custodians to overhaul and run 70013 (including main line certification) after the last ticket expired, but no financial arrangements were mentioned and, as far as I know, there has...

    What about 70013 - how is the overhaul being funded?

    We're really looking forward to getting Charwelton back, just to see how well she performs now. She has limped on with a pretty much life expired cylinder block for a long time.

    Hi Steve. The old Manning Wardle valves were sadly cream crackered. The wonderful John Dunn performed his usual machining magic on some GWR valve casting SVR had in stock and made available to us. We were told GWR steam valves are the bees...
