RMweb Gold Nick C Posted April 1 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 1 A few preservation ones from Facebook this morning: Bluebell Railway - 80100 to run in spring gala. GWSR - narrow gauge to extend to Broadway via a ledge on the side of the viaduct. And my favourite from SLL: Quote Bulleid Baltic project to ease head shunt and turntable issues on heritage lines. 34070 Manston was removed from Swanage Railway earlier this year and was reported as moving to the Mid Hants Railway. In fact the low loader carrying Manston travelled only as far as Herston works and the loco was set on a short length of track behind the workshop. To keep this project away from the media videos showing it to be running at the MHR were generated by AI. For the last six weeks all SLL’s resources were focused on converting the loco to a 4-6-4 Baltic tank locomotive, the design being based on an early plan from the Leader project, which subsequently used the well-known 0-6-6-0T configuration. An SLL spokesman explained that the Baltic tank was shorter than the tender form. It uses the front bogie of Sidmouth to replace the Bessel truck with the coal bunker from Standard Class 4MT loco 80104 currently being overhauled at Tyseley. As a Baltic tank it addresses head-shunt limitations at some heritage railways, and those without turntables. It also provides a tender for 34010 Sidmouth which SLL are currently restoring. The Baltic tank’s first test run was yesterday evening and is seen here running round at Swanage station. It still carries 34070’s number and name plates, however a new name will be unveiled during the Strictly Bulleid Two gala in June. No final decision on the new name has been made, and suggestions from enthusiasts are welcome. 1 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KeithMacdonald Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 This one's going to have to go in the "For those that like ships" topic as well. It's too good to not be true. Quote In an extraordinary response to the ongoing issues with Scotland’s CalMac ferry fleet, the Ministry of Defence has announced that the Royal Navy’s HMS Bulwark will be temporarily repurposed for ferry duties. This unconventional solution aims to ease the pressure on Scotland’s transport network, ensuring that essential services continue to run smoothly and island communities stay connected. https://ukdefencejournal.org.uk/royal-navy-landing-ship-to-support-scottish-ferry-crisis-2/ 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
