I was also on this railtour in the coach behind the loco. 55016 was definitely on 2 engines and was not assisted "up the bank". It later suffered an engine exhaust fire at Peterborough during December 1981 which presumably wasn't repaired due to its impending withdrawal.
We are aware of an issue with emails from the Forum to Microsoft-based email accounts (hotmail/outlook/live.com email addresses). This is being looked into currently, thanks for your patience meanwhile.
