Sheff liked MellishR's post in the thread Tornado.

"Whilst we look forward to updating you all with the news that our flagship locomotive, Tornado, is finally back on the rails, unfortunately that day is a little further away than any of us would ideally like. The overhaul has in part been...

Some did go to the GE section when the Britannias were withdrawn after some cases of axle movement were discovered. I think they were quickly returned!

Sheff liked The Green Howards's post in the thread Tornado.
I give you what impact it has had on the Nene Valley Railway - cancelled twice now, will those visitors or participants on various charters, driving experiences, whatever, will they hope "third time lucky" or just give up?

Sheff liked Big Al's post in the thread Tornado.
As always many people have hit the nail on the head including @Jamessquared in differentiating between innovators/builders and maintainers. I wouldn't presume to understand the thinking of the A1ST. It's their business to work with those who look...

I have taken the liberty of quoting this post verbatim in an email to the Trust. Let's see what they have to say.

The Trust started with an extremely competent team covering all the areas of expertise. It was correspondingly extremely successful at first. No longer, apparently.

staffordian liked Oswald T Wistle's post in the thread WCME/CME 2024.
Well, what a week it has been (and still is)! First, and definitely most important, last Saturday Mrs W's team won at Leicester and so avoided relegation - Mrs W opened a bottle of the fizzy wine to celebrate. Another reason to celebrate, it...

pete12000 liked Johnb's post in the thread Bahamas.
I received a pre-publication copy available to members a few days ago. Written in a different way to the normal string of facts type book with a lot of human interest, thoroughly recommended. Also worth getting by the same author, if you can find...

Linesider liked daveannjon's post in the thread Bahamas.
The last specific 45596 thread was in 2019 so I hope a new one is appropriate. I'm pleased to say that Bahamas will be visiting Peak Rail for an extended stay this July, arriving via the mainline connection. It is probably nearly sixty years...

Miff liked 35B's post in the thread Lynton and Barnstaple - Operations and Development.
Streaming would be an excellent idea. So would expanding the meeting to allow both formal business and wider discussion of the Trust, CIC and their plans. That the time allowed for the meeting is so short, and the conduct from the top table so...
