Why is it that it always come down to people saying "it must be in LNER Apple Green" the loco carried other colours during its life and why shouldn`t it be shown to the world in its other liveries, I not surprised that Pete Waterman got rid.

Truly sad news.

You can always pop down with a strimmer and tree loppers, I'm sure that the guys would like a hand, only 6 miles or so to do!!

The EOR is progressing towards re-opening at quite a pace at the moment and it is planned to open to the public later this year. However we will not commit to publishing a date until everything is ready and in place. We do not want to open half-cocked if you know what I mean. As you can...

yes she started very well for an old English Electric, only about 5 minutes of priming oil manually due to small problem with priming oil pump not powering up. 205205 is the unit that was 'refurbished' in the 80's, we have decided to keep her as is internally. Blackcab94
