    Whether something like 461 is appropriate for the KESR could be debated endlessly, and I have no opinion, but it is a fine looking loco.

    Not quite true, but you'd be forgiven for missing it seeing as we haven't formally announced it yet - Andrew Barclay no.2315 'Lady Ingrid' is the final locomotive for the lineup, subject to agreement of contract. 'Lady Ingrid' is freshly...

    I thought the railway was a registered museum, in which case surely there are questions around deaccession policy to consider?

    My experience of S15’s is limited to 825/841 but I have nothing but admiration for them. They may not have the ease of prep and comforts of the BR Standards but they are strong, sure footed and fantastic steamers.

    Thanks for the info. I wonder if the 50 will be allowed to operate some normal services while it is at the railway.

    Loaded testing before the loco is passed for mainline operation I believe.

    Will they put themselves on the list of things that could be disposed of? Value might be minimal but outgoings would be reduced too...

  13. John Petley liked Wagoniester's post in the thread Kent & East Sussex Railway.

    Given how much it has cost to do restorations of locos such as 4110 and 4150 recently completed, I envisage a restoration of 80100 getting little-to-no change from £1million at the very least. In some ways, it does tell a story by showing how...
