Not long now! Plan is for 46447 to return over the late May Bank Holiday, running alongside one of the Prairies and the resident class 108.[IMG][IMG] Sent from my SM-A226B using Tapatalk

It would be nice if this info was on their website (or made clearer if it is somewhere on there). Currently their Events list includes lots of what seems to be generic advertising for stuff (mostly experiences and dining trains), but lacks...

Things are looking good for the return of the N2 to service in time for the summer season, according to the FB friends of page it has moved under it’s own steam for first time since 2018.

Let's pretend that the new owner restores Warrior, runs it at the Dean Forest for - say - 2 years, and then takes it away. I'd argue this is better for the Dean Forest than having it remain in bits in assorted bushes. And it's certainly better...

Given 'Warrior' has been at DFR for over 40 years the interesting question is why sell it now? Perhaps the market has spiked? Anyhow, it'll be wonderful to see it again in steam. The last time for me was my 9th birthday and I had a footplate ride.

While starting to strip the loco at Steamport we found that the bevel gears in the reverser weren't mating properly, this must have been a problem when in B.R. ownership. Bob Maxwell re-machined them & they were perfect after that. The main thing...

Pedant alert: 76084 has also operated on the mainline in preservation, albeit to a much lesser extent than '79.

It gets worse the more you think about it, even using guesstimates, rough figures and trying to extrapolate from the accounts. I can't imagine lighting up a 9F is going to be cheap with current coal prices, and an extra loco is lit up solely for...

When you read the numbers you do really get the feeling that the powers that be for this line are not in touch with reality. To repeat myself (and others) somewhat... Bridge 42 was known about long before the stoppage yet nothing was done in...

'Warrior' hasn't steamed, to the best of my knowledge, since 1979 so if the new owner has the means it might mark a joint 75th birthday and 50 years return to steam!

Can't help wondering if the new owner of Warrior already owns several Austerities....

Plenty good enough for me. Anyone else remember the days when galas happened with NO visiting locos at all? ;)
