Interesting. I'm willing to bet that this is the only case on the railways when one nickname has been used for three things.And the same nickname was given to the GWR's streamlined 1930s railcars (DMUs), see e.g. https://www.svrwiki.com/Railcar_22 or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GWR_railcars
Hello all,
Do we know which engines are working the railtour today? Just wondering.

Well your last journey always as KGM gives it away slightly!!!Thank you for posting the numbers @Mag_seven. Thanks for letting me know that 43002 would be at the country end @bluegoblin7.
I've just been to one of my local stations (I won't post here for security reasons) and seeing and hearing the beast that is 43002 was amazing. Thanks all for the information about this railtour.

Oh dear... But it wasn't Kingham! I'll let you guess where it was and I won't give you the answer.Well your last journey always as KGM gives it away slightly!!!

527104165 and 527103479.
maybe the engine numbers, as in MTU and not class 43 loco itself?
I really want to know what a class 527104 and 527103 look like now.

Very clever! Hadn't thought of that.maybe the engine numbers, as in MTU and not class 43 loco itself?
Give that man the prize!maybe the engine numbers, as in MTU and not class 43 loco itself?
Oh no! Seen as the railtour has around 2 hours left, that's not good. I hope it is fixed. This shows, as much as I don't like it, that 43002 is definitely destined for a museum. The failure on the "Last Day" (18th May) and now this.Problems with 43002 at reading apparently, not sure whether it's fixed now

0Z25 was dispatched from SPM, clearly not required as the tour passed through Taunton non-stop and 0Z25 was turned back at Weston-Super-Mare.
It's nice that GWR went to the trouble of keeping it aside for these special events but maybe because it wasn't running for a while that was why it failed?Had some work done to it before the last day as well, didn't operate for a good few weeks before that as they wanted to make sure it was in tip top shape for the appearance.

I saw photos on Instagram of it in Laira before the 18th actually, but I can't remember which exam it was. It definitely looked good on the 18th and yesterday though so the maintenance, from a aesthetic point of view, worked a treat! As I said earlier, it is really nice that GWR wanted to get the engine out for the special events.Believe it needed an exam and some maintenance work on it.
They were desperate to have it running for the service so no expense was spared.
