About time this was addressed. Good news.

A relief that it made it to New Street without going pop! :D

Currently at Bury Transport Museum.

Burn coal. Raise steam. Steam turbine generator. Traction motors. Isn't that the idea?

That would mean that extra paths are required for ecs moves during the day.

Diesel galas? :D

Thanks. The availability of breakfast burritos sounds appealing!

I noticed the other day that the KFC is shut, with hoardings around it. A refurb to return as KFC or a new offering, does anyone know?

Then it would have to be 13101.

You'd think someone would take a couple of 08s and make 13004.

Always a bit annoying when you are taking a phot and someone bedecked in bright orange pops up right in the shot. I can se that it is a source of revenue from people paying for permits, but there are always plenty of decent photographic locations on the right side of the fence.

18000 is a very unlikely survivor. But it survived.

So it was loco hauled for the benefit of staff cranks!
