Work has continued with four floor sheets installed and stanchion repairs completed. The underframe has been prepped and mostly painted together with the headstocks. The first of the side sheet repairs has started. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]

How come there are problems like this in a perfectly straightforward special train trip? It really puts me off booking on anything. Blue Peter had an almost faultless trip up to Edinburgh.

A reflection on the fact that DB no longer own any electric locos too, suspect a class 90 would do a lot better than a 67. Les Ross makes such a difference on the West Coast legs of the CMEs etc, when not availableWest Coast need x2 47s to keep...

Being close by, thought yesterday would be an ideal opportunity for a few pics and see what the plans are next. Drove down to a deserted DLW, then realised that it was the 2nd week of the month, not the 1st or 3rd...... Try again next week.

The fire hole door is central. Look at the flap catch and then upwards. Remember that the actual fire hole ring is rectangular on Meinigen boilers and the LNER style door is bolted over this.
