47367 arrived mid August.
D1502 was early September I think.
47367 is a bit rough, and may only turn out to be a source of spares, D1502 is in better condition (it was in use this weekend), but the last I heard it had a few electrical issues requiring attention.
I visited the Dean Forest Railway last weekend (unaware of the incident), but did notice that there were lots of silver painted footbridge components laid out near the track. A few parts were at St Marys, but most were near Lydney Junction. They all looked in good condition, like a Meccano kit...
The convoy of locos is expected to leave Princes Risborough at about 11:00 tomorrow - I cant see anything timetabled, but this is what we we're told at Chinnor this afternoon.
EDIT: Running as 0E50, timed to depart Princes Risborough CE sidings at 1151
66315 was on Peterborough GBRF depot today, easily visible from passing trains. The depot building looks like it might be shut up for Christmas. 08632 and 66311 also visible.
Based on website I use, the following sightings are recorded:
Southall July 2024 to present (last sighting 13/10/24)
Nemesis (Burton) July 2023 to March 2024 (possibly to May 2024)
16/1/23 various (could be working or possibly towed)
Southall August 2022 to Dec 2022
Mid Hants mid July to end...
On Saturday 58023 had a few issues (according to info from the driver when we got back to Kiddy):
On arriving at Bridgnorth the loco was almost failed due to a coolant leak - it was a known issue, but turned out to be more serious than expected.
It was refilled with water at the turnaround...
Looks like 43423 and 467 will work from 6Z44 0455 Wembley Terminal Complex to Shirebrook Davis and Sons tomorrow. Presumably a wagon move? Does anyone have any more details please?
There appears to be some grill differences on the one side - both in terms of number of grills/windows and the spacings.
JA:
JB:
The other side (2x2 grill on the left) appears to be the same at first glance.
The video is from 14/5/2020, so that's probably about right, if you look to the east you can see that OOC has been cleared, but no major HS2 work has started, so that suggests the image it's from a good few years back.
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.
