RMweb Premium brushman47544 Posted August 30, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 30, 2017 And will there be a steam worked shuttle from Paddington - not so easy now that 1A is no longer available. Steam's been done. How about a Warship and Hymek top and tailing a Paddington shuttle. That would be a sound to behold - when was the last time either of those classes worked in or out of Padd? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rugd1022 Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 (edited) Steam's been done. How about a Warship and Hymek top and tailing a Paddington shuttle. That would be a sound to behold - when was the last time either of those classes worked in or out of Padd? Last Warship out of Padd was '72, last Hymek was '75.... alas none of the preserved examples of either class are mainline certified.

That would be a sound to behold - when was the last time either of those classes worked in or out of Padd? Are those available with main line tickets? No use if they haven't got the necessary paperwork and it would have had to have been done whenever they received their last major overhaul. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rugd1022 Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Consensus of opinion between the two owning groups of 821 and 832 is that they won't be put back on the mainline. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jim.snowdon Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 Why so many the same indeed! Quite, in fact why do we need as many as 18 in preservation at all? That's almost 40% of the class and all I can see that doing is spreading the resources required to maintain them ever thinner and taking up more of the limited space available on the private railways.

That's almost 40% of the class and all I can see that doing is spreading the resources required to maintain them ever thinner and taking up more of the limited space available on the private railways. Jim With locos such as Class 50, they're not in the same category as older locos, and I'm not sure the word 'preserved' is right for many of them. 'Preserved' puts one in mind of a stuffed and mounted exhibit, but Class 50 was a later in service 100mph (OK, 95mph later on) powerful Co-Co with air brakes. This means that in the post BR aftermarket it has a certain asset value, there are several main line certified and they are well able to tootle about the modern network without lots of adapting. A few of the survivors are unrestored but the use of the others means that they have potential for the future either for spares or maybe one day rebuilding. But I wouldn't class any of the surviving later diesel class members as 'preserved' in the way that, say, Duchess of Sutherland is. In many cases they are still being bought, sold, used, traded modified and broken up as the market sees fit, and it all adds to variety and interest in the modern scene.

RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted September 1, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 1, 2017 As a matter of interest who is paying the movement cost for all this stuff, it must be astronomical? There are an awful lot of exhibits which are having to go by road and I suspect access to the site might also be fascinating as the entrance by the HST depot building involves some pretty tight turns - some video of that being negotiated by a 70 foot long artic trailer will make interesting viewing!
