Part of the problem is that they are complicated beasts. On paper they seem ok, but dozens of relays providing interlocking etc means it only takes a minor sensor or relay problem and you aren't going anywhere (A door not triggering the closed...

Push the boat out for a Class 14. Can still do everything an 03 can but isn't as outgunned out on the road at speed.

No comment on the first line… the sensor on the wheel would not be good for some of our curves, incompatible with other stock, really need at least 2 units for spares and parts, lack of public appeal, were a few of the reasons that were...

we have the 2 x 03 locos. At the moment our own 03 is proving to be up to the task, hopefully the second one will be available soon.

If we assume, as many are, that prolonged hot dry spells through summer are going requiring diesel cover are going to be a regular thing in future, has the Gwili given any thought to obtaining a larger diesel than the 03 to support with this...

Is it 'cos they is ****? :) (It's interesting that a few years ago there was a slew of Pacers going to preservation, and much excitable talk about how they were an ideal cheap motive power, historic vehicles worth preserving etc; and now those...

No, it never has been and isn't to this day, even on the side that is "complete". 34051 had a wandering life in its early preservation days - Brighton, Tyseley, Didcot - with no inventry of what was on the loco at that time so bits did just walk....

When 34051 was at Didcot, we asked John Bellwood where all the missing parts were. Do you think that 35029 was 'complete' when it left Barry?
