Warships

[Sprog]

Howdy, i was browinsg through some old vidoe archives online, and i found a few wonderfull vidoes of WR Warship Hydraulic locomotives. I have always loved The Hydraulics, and im very enthusiastic about them, especially D1015.

MY question is, what future lies ahead for the two (??) preserved Warships

Is there any chance of one of them returning ot NR along with its cousin 'Champ' to make a Hydraulic duo??

Id love to see a Warship out and about on the mainline, where it belongs so i, and my 'generation' of enthusiasts' can get an idea of the might of these wonderfull locos!!

Just one thing, D1015 is a Western, not a Warship. As for D1015, it is used on railtours, but it isn't out very often.

Ok, 1) I know that 'Champ' is a Western/Wessie..and in that sentence, i was refering to the Hydraulic locos in general - Hymeks, Westerns and Warships.

2) I do know the differance, ty. Ive also been behind D1015 on a railtour, and if i didnt know what the '52s' where called befroe that (which i did :roll: ) considering the tour was called the 'The Western Heights', that wouldve kinda been a give-away..dont ya think!?? :roll:

Shes used quite regularly on railtours, her last of 2005 being last week.

3) That post didnt answer my original question atall, in which i was asking for opinions/possiblites of the two presverved Warships (D821 and D832) ever returning to NR metals....

Don't think D832 will do it again, shes happy enough pottering around here...D821 is unfortunately languishing at the Slack Valley, where, oddly, they don't have anyone passed to drive it! hock:
