Approximately 61 years since it last worked! Insurance inspection passed apparently.

Green Arrow was only overhauled last time due to private sponsorship by Dr Michael Peagram - a mere £100k then. I suspect it would need similar sponsorship now for any hope of change of fortune and at least 10 times that amount..

£5000 won't replace many crown stays.

Major overhaul costs have gone through the roof. The days when any railway can have a shed full of operational locos have gone, unfortunately. It is now a case of sweating the assets.

Very true - has anyone looked at the Mid Hants line-up, for example, of late? The West Somerset cupboard looks fairly bare, too., as does the East Lancs. I feel bound to agree that the NYMR seems to be guilty of grievously underusing No. 29,...

Yup, just received the email confirming this. I know there's concern about 5043's tyres but still a better option than postponing again. Plenty of rain forecast over the next week so hopefully no fire risk concerns.

The Q6 is situation is a strange one, it sits out of traffic for 18 months runs for a couple of months and is then withdrawn for all of the crown stays to be replaced. The crown stays won't have deteriorated in the short period back in traffic so...

Sadly the heritage movement as a whole is majorly lacking spare in locos ‘sitting around’ even western ones. It’s the worst I’ve known it for years. If you want a hire for next summer you’d better start your negotiations now… admittedly, being...

The cost of FS, much vaunted and derided as the "Flying Moneypit" has now in my view been eclipsed by others, including Blue Peter, which Jeremy Hosking had quoted very publically last year as having cost him £5m. We are now in the era of the...

Theoretically, Charwelton (one "L") will be able to pull 4 mk1's on our line. Livery, as I understand it, will be red.
