The cab has been ready to be removed for a couple of months now. All the bolts have been removed that attach it to the frame and we have placed attached several bars on her so she wont lose her shape during the lift. You never know but I would be supprised if we at the stage already but I havent...

I'd be supprised if 05 is going to the lifting shop (well move 20ft forward to get under a crane) but there are a couple of coaches being restored ahead of us on the same road which would need moving and didnt have bogies last time I saw. You never know tho

35005 or 35006?

I dont know to be honest. At this stage we are still stripping down and inspecting her. Think a final decision on the boiler work will be sorted once all the funding has secured. Hows 35006 coming along?

My fifth post on my journey into the world of volunteering has gone live on LocoYard.com Simon’s journey into the world of Volunteering – Entry 5 Well worth checking to see some of the progress done on the beast.

Hi I had the assessment on the Tuesday (5th) and I received a phone call from the assessor the following day saying that I passed the assessment. I also then received an email a few hours later saying "Thank you for attending the assessment center and your application is being considered for...

Thanks Monty I will look into that. There is no harm in trying at least. --- old post above --- --- new post below --- My fourth diary entry went live today and does show the progress made on 35005. Work on Canadian Pacific is going at a good pace and we might even say we are ahead of schedule...

I had my assessment in London last Tuesday and now it seems to be the waiting game. It seems to get one update a month at the month

Thanks for sharing the information about 35006 its always interesting to learn about other projects. I never knew about the 3rd nameplate so I wonder if Canadian Pacific still have theres.

Hi guys my third diary entry went live today on LocoYard.com which shows some of the great process done by John and his team. Just a quick thank you for "Hampshire Unit" who gave me permission to use a couple of his photos of CP in my blog. You can view the post by clicking here.

Thanks for the kind words guys :) Hoping to do another report in the next couple of weeks.

Thanks alot! I have been talking to a guy who has been working on 06 and they have been working on her for a number of years so hopefully our restoration once we are given the green light and funding secured wont take half as long. P&O looks to be coming along really well and by the looks of it...

By bowing I think they just meant "misshaping"

They posted on the 5th October they had just pasted the 1/4 million mark after just 4 and 1/2 months of fundraising. http://www.gcrailway.co.uk/news/#9228

CP is at Eastleigh she has been moved however. She is now resting right at the back of the shed in what used to be the boiler shop on some track which was laid down just for her. Her overall status is unknown until we get the boiler off and she what condition that and the frames are in...

This is my first ever post after years of just reading the forum without actually contributing anything. I have recently got involved with helping to work onMerchant Navy class 35005 Canadian Pacific at Eastleigh Works. As you all know she is owned by the Mid Hants Railway and she seems to the...

It is based at Petersfield the job was advertised in August only just got the assessment day invitation today

Hello I have been invited to attend a Network Rail assessment day on the 5th November for a signaler position and wondered if anyone had advice or know any of the questions they are likely to ask. Really want the job so any advice you could give would be gratefully appreciated. Thank you

Its just the word "Pending" which is worrying me as I would of thought if you were invited to an assessment it would be a instant email with the relevant information. That what happened with Southern at least when I applied to be a commercial guard for them

My Application Status changed to "Invite to Assessment Pending" at 4pm today not sure if that's good or bad.
