    Back to 45212...

    I happened to be at Hellifield when it arrived and ran round the support coach this week. I was vaguely aware of previous issues with the tender axle boxes so was pleased and impressed to see one of the crew checking each box in turn with an electronic temperature recording device. "So far, so good" was the comment I overheard. I feel for anyone who operates heritage equipment and has failures despite best efforts in the glare of armchair experts.

    Thanks to all who put money and effort into main line steam. The world will be very much poorer when they all decide enough is enough and put the toys back in their boxes.

    I want to say that I honestly regret any comments which might have made me come across as being judgemental on situations I don't know about. We can always strive to be better on these things and not point the finger and be critical of things we don't know about. Myself very much included.
