In "Push and Pull" it says:

'...discussions are now underway regarding where the locomotive may fit within our developing ten-year locomotive strategy. There are a number of possibilities under consideration...'

Does anyone know if 45212 has returned and if it still has air brakes (I would assume so as a 57 dragged it)

Yes it’s now in the shed at Haworth and it looks like it still has its air brakes

I have just found a video, and it’s air brakes have been removed.

Braking equipment is a bit academic if it is going to sit in the Oxenhope exhibition shed for the next five years or more.

 

[D6130]

The fact that it was dragged from Bury to Keighley with a loco at each end - presumably through-piped - would seem the indicate that the loco's air braking equipment had been removed....or at least was inoperative.

 

[Iskra]

Could the equipment have been transferred onto another locomotive at Bury perhaps?

Hopefully 212 ends up back in traffic on the KWVR soon; it’s a great loco.

It’s currently on Haworth shed, which seems a bit more promising than Oxenhope shed

Anybody know if the 8F or the jinty are due to be overhauled or are currently being plz?

The jinty ain't the most powerful but always proves popular with punters it appears.

The Jinty is currently being assessed for overhaul (to replace 85)
