    Loco number change while being preserved

    When a loco has been saved & is preserved, can the owner change the numbers back to it's either original or after TOPS number instead of being say a 47/7 or 47/8. e.g. 47 793 - used to be "D1778" :: October 23rd 1964 & "47183" :: February 1974 47 840 - used to be "D1661" ...

    Class 70 Naming List for fun: "Given that the Class 70 represents a quantum leap in technology over previous designs entering the UK market, Freightliner intends to name their locomotives after great icons of 1970′s Britain. The 70′s saw the growth of the Freightliner brand across the UK...

    Noisy 442s

    I wish SWT did not sell 442's as they were so good on the Waterloo - Weymouth service, if you want noise check out 350, 450 & 444 units when they arrive & depart.

    66734 latest

    From WNXX website: "I haven't seen any photos on your site or elsewhere of 66734 in its current state - probably because it's such a trek up the Loch side to find it. A lot of enthusiasts in the car park at Fersit but unaware (as we were) of just how far up the Loch the loco is. It took us...

    Class 92 on B/Stoke to Weymouth line

    As the whole stretch of this line is 3rd rail, can someone tell me why Class 92's don't venture down to B/Stoke, Eastleigh / Southampton or Weymouth..? Is the loco's RA rating a 7 which makes them difficult to go on certain lines, why did the loco's not be made a RA rating of 5 so they can go...

    Weathered 33 053 at MHR

    I agree with you Monty, MRH is so pushed for space, it would be lovely to see a train shed like the one at GWR at Toddington so the engines are all under cover & tucked away each night. The "Harry potter" walk bridge from Kings X station is being installed at Ropley & should be open in a few...

    What Happened to all the Slam door trains?

    Yes these trains could be dangerous but what is not if no care is taken, back in the 80's / 90's there was no health n safety rules thankfully. I love the "Slam" door stock, the trains used to do 80mph past Basingstoke Barton Mill sidings from Waterloo direction then hit the brakes just after...
