    Thought the videos sounded like 2/3 of an engine.

    Second favourite Kiwi for some of us. (Have to say that in case my wife is a secret reader of NatPres!)

    I dont think he was 34109s cup of tea either! Joking aside had really good day behind 34053 yesterday, as I say I think it could be my new favorite machine!

    As I have £250 invested somewhere in 34053, I'm biased... I had a ride earlier this year to renew acquaintances and was not disappointed- made a hell of a noise on the climbs. I take it the loco's done well at the gala?

    Still in pieces the last I heard, and considering where it is now, there will be no news until it suddenly appears on the mainline- that is, if it isn't 34067 in disguise.

    most likely source of spare parts for Tangmere, or replacement boiler to go on Bodmin depending on if West coast need another gauge friendly 7p , in an ideal world, either 34016 or 35018 would be an ideal replacement for Tangmere when she next has some down time july 2016 would be a good time to see 35018 return to NR metals at the head of a Paddington - Exeter-Exeter - Waterloo tour complete with Atlantic Coast Express headboard.
