Coppercap Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Let's hope 4110 and 9682 steam soon then. Thanks for the info. Well, I gather 9682 is well on the way at Southall (the GWRPG area, nothing to do with another organisation at Southall.....), and should be back in steam later this year, but 4110 at Tyseley is years (and lots of money) away.

Coppercap Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Well it looks like it's going to remain here for a little while yet. There been an appeal to members of the GWR Preservation Group to raise funds to pay for it's removal. Despite the locomotive being 'sold' last year, it looks like it was a 'delivered' price, and the buyer doesn't pay until the loco's on site.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium melmerby Posted February 8, 2013 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted February 8, 2013 Well it looks like it's going to remain here for a little while yet.

Despite the locomotive being 'sold' last year, it looks like it was a 'delivered' price, and the buyer doesn't pay until the loco's on site.. That doesn't sound like a very good bit of negotiating (from seller's point of view!) I still think it would be easier to lay temporary track from the end of the stub track to the siding a litle way away (the one with a buffer stop = remove) and winch it into position. Then it could be hauled (slowly), at a quiet time of night, to Tyseley. The track could go over the low height obstructions on some supports http://maps.google.co.uk/?ll=52.477749,-1.888876&spn=0.000805,0.002642&t=h&z=19 Keith Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coppercap Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Not directly, but I've been shown a copy by someone who has. So, are they going to cough up? I'm wondering if I ought to end my membership and give my money to something with a real future. Sad to say it, but with the way it seems to be being run, I can't see the group lasting much longer. I've been in it since the beginning............. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Harrison Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 I had to go through Moor Street today (on my way to meeting with some friends at the Severn Valley Railway)- the loco's still there. Loco and tender have been uncoupled, so maybe a move is in the offing in the near future, but as I say at present, it's still there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
