Is that the same owner as 50008 Thunderer?Just in case you're not aware 31106 is to be overhauled for an intended return to mainline service with Hanson & Hall

They could do with a 2nd 31 and run occasional railtours when not carrying out other dutiesIndeed it is, there are a few pictures of 106 on H&H facebook

31190 sure is up for sale, coul be interestingAs I understand it there is only one mainline 31 at present, 31128 at Nemesis Rail, so perhaps the two of them could possibly work together in future, I also believe that 31190 is up for sale at the moment so who knows .......
Is that the outfit that are based at Yarmouth @ExRes?Reported a few days ago on WNXX (subscription section) that mainline registered 31452 has been moved into a newly formed pool, ERSL, along with 08870, the pool has been created for Eastern Rail Services, an interesting one to keep an eye on
I hadn’t even heard of them until a couple of weeks ago, they seem like quite an interesting operation.That's the boys, be interesting to see if the 31 is going there to provide train heat or for mainline use
Mentioned on the wnxx forum that it was keeping its mainline registration and equipment.That's the boys, be interesting to see if the 31 is going there to provide train heat or for mainline use
Obviously it's the intention of using 31452 on the mainline, otherwise all the mainline equipment would be stripped out.Mentioned on the wnxx forum that it was keeping its mainline registration and equipment.

Where are they based?There are plenty of eastern rail sevices vehicles in traffic.
Derby, and used in NR test trains.Where are they based?
They are moving to the carriage sidings at Great Yarmouth. They did have a base at the Weardale Railway.
it appears that the 31 has been privately purchased and will undergo a full inspection to determine the level of work required for a return to operational condition
Unless they had a rough idea of it's general condition and now this is the detailed inspection to allow them to make a plan of where to start and establish how long it will take?Unless the price was incredibly attractive those tasks look to be the wrong way round

31452 has just been sighted on the m42 Junction 6 solihull heading northbound around 35 minutes ago on a low loader. So continues its journey today.31452 departed Meldon Quarry yesterday heading to Yarmouth
