I appreciate that the "Z" towards the rear of the vehicle is part of the Lens Lab logo, but with the current situation in Ukraine, is it really appropriate and may be counterproductive.

Hence it's trials on non Network Rail metals. I am guessing Vivarail 230002 was similar maybe before it sailed off to the USA ?

Very interesting. My understanding was that the P5 'combine' only lists vehicles registered to run on Network Rail metals - which is why only a subset of 'preserved' vehicles are listed within them. It would be good to have confirmation re whether 19001 and/or 230002 wew ever NR registered, if any has definitive knowledge, please.

I visited the SRPS at Bo'ness last week - loved the experience. Helpful, friendly people, and much to see.
I got chatting with someone about 19001. They confirmed that it's now had electric magnets installed, and is being used as a testbed to understand how magnetic forces can increase adhesion and hence effective tractive effort.
I think they also said that Artemis, the previous owner had gone bust, and Lenz had bought 19001 for a knock-down price.

82113 was NR registered a long time ago. The 'Class 19' title was an enthusiast name given to this vehicle. In its current guise it is not Network Rail registered and was never registered as 'Class 19' in the rolling stock library.

Many thanks t_star2001uk. I guess Platform5 were just getting a bit over-excited about it.

Haha . Praps they need to talk to Hornby about their experiences of magnadhesion, but also to a more modern version. Perhaps DCC concepts ?

The ex class 314 now hydrogen train conversion 614209 made a historic move today.
The first hydrogen train to move under its own power in Scotland.
Further testing will be carried out over the next few weeks.

The loco is back inservice at Bo'ness minus its water tank for now.
The STG loco will be running at Bo'ness until its new bogies are available for mainline running again.

Absolutely not. I know the English did but it wasn't exactly a 'Breeze'. What happened to those class 600s?

I'm not sure it's ever ran. The Hydroflex (Class 799) certainly ran on the mainline over two years ago but much of the equipment was in the saloon. I guess it depends on your definition of first!
