http://englishelectric.zenfolio.com/50027/e2779cc7b I notice the horn grills seem to be missing - hope it's s temporary thing and not the work of the local scroats. :roll: Clicking the link provided here reveals the horn grille to be clearly visible!

50008 is currently still at the NRM & will remain there for a couple weeks yet I believe, before returning to Washwood Heath for work to continue. 21 & 33 are still at Tyseley awaiting manpower to carry on working on them. 29 & 30 are based at Peak Rail. How do I know all this? Because I'm...

Due to a second website failure, Renown Repulse is temporarily at http://renownrepulse.wordpress.com while a new website is under construction. 50008, 21 & 33 dont have websites. 50015 may be listed under Bury Valiant Group or some such combination of words. 50017 is at www.50017.co.uk 50002...

If you're meaning actual manual work; probably some sort of overhaul, and fitting of TPWS & OTMR equipment. If you mean examinations & documentation; several months worth I would guess. Plus the costs of getting re-registered. I believe it cost the 40145 group £150,000.

That was 50044 hauling 50049. I was at Kiddy picking up some parts & saw them leave.

Internally, it is hoped that the loco is still in a condition where it will be ready to start-up without incident. The engine is barred over every week, and the batteries received there most recent top-up charge last week. You will need to discharge the batteries as well as keep charging...

50050 was re-registered on TOPS last year, and there is a distant possibility it may be fitted with TPWS & OTMR for mainline use at some point. Glorious may also be re-certified for the mainline if the current custodians pay for the necessary work.

I don't know is the honest answer, as I'm not involved with 50026. There is still the 50026.com website, but the last entry was in 2008 so I don't know if it still being used. There might be a 'contact us' button there.

As far as I know, 26 should be sometime next year, but I'm not associated with 26, so that's only what I've heard. Of the ones I'm associated with; if all goes well, Thunderer maybe the year after, depending on how long the current repairs take (traction motor repair, refit AWS & vac brake...

Check out the latest progress on 50050 at D400fund.org.uk There's also a Facebook page for Fearless now as well.

As I understand it, being one of those working on it, 008 will still be under repair/recommissioning in 2012, as no.4 traction motor has a power-earth fault & will need a repair at least, or even possibly need rewiring, and the AWS & vac brake equipment is still being refitted, which will entail...

It could be either of those reasons, or another reason entirely, I really don't know.

On the subject of bodywork, today 50021 Rodney enjoyed her first bodywork repairs in quite a while. The Driver's cabside of No.1 end had a rotten section cut out, new plate welded in, filled, sanded & undercoated.
