LTA (Süddeutsche) 0-4-0Tram No. OEG 102

Posted by: Dale W Fickés on Oct 27, 2022 @ 02:10:17
I cannot quite get my head around the abbreviation LTA ? The original owner was Süddeutsche Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft AG (SEG) based in Darmstadt that did not have any derivative companies bearling those initials. It is in fact the origins of the present Ruhrbahn based in Essen. Currently the tram ihas spent time with the DGEG and OEG and is currenntly, since 1990, in the Landesmuseum, Mannheim.

London & North Eastern Railway 4-6-2 No. 60007 (4498) 'Sir Nigel Gresley'

Posted by: Russell Newman on Oct 26, 2022 @ 06:10:21
Having had a good visit to the North Yorkshire Moors Railway over late September and October, ex LNER A4 Pacific 4-6-2 No. 60007 "Sir Nigel Gresley" currently running in her LNER Wartime Black livery as No. 4498 will be heading south to work some Christmas railtours on the mainline with Steam Dreams this December alongside ex LNER B1 4-6-0 No. 61306 "Mayflower". After that No. 60007 will return to LNWR Heritage at Crewe for the winter for her maintinace and to be painted back into the iconic British Railways Blue livery of the 1950s again for 2023 and onwards.

British Railways 4-6-0 No. 1306 'Mayflower'

Posted by: Russell Newman on Oct 26, 2022 @ 06:10:10
Work on fitting airbrakes to former LNER B1 4-6-0 No. 61306 "Mayflower" has now been completed at LNWR Heritage at Crewe and the locomotive will be out this Friday on a mainline test run from Crewe via Shrewsbury to Coton Hill and back to test her new airbrakes.

DRG (KPEV) 0-6-0WT No. 89.7005 (1770)

Posted by: Dale W Fickés on Oct 26, 2022 @ 04:10:45
This is the oldest known Henschel built locomotive still extant. It was delivered to the KPEV at Cöln (Crr) ? as No. 1770, later transferred to nearby Elberfelf (Efd) as both their No. 1787 and later 6169. From 1923 it worked at Aw Siegen as werklok No. 004 and was plinthed, in 1962, for at least four years in the DB training school at Wuppertal-Clausen. In 1972 it went to a school playground for two decades in Schwalbach, Taunas then in 1993, to the Bergisch Märkische Eisenbahn (BME), Förderverein Wupperschiene (FWS) Radevormwald-Dählhausen where it was until at least 2003. In 2008 it went to the Eisenbahn and Heimatmuseum (EHEM) at Erkrath-Hochdahl where it is believed to be now. Surprising that no images of this appear on site ? Also, the identity 89.7005 is probably ficticious! It is not believed to have operated as such, probably adopted by the FWS, though it may have been identified as such by the DRG in 1925 whilst working in Siegen ?

Kentucky & Tennesee RR 2-8-2 No. 10

Posted by: Swade Barned on Oct 25, 2022 @ 13:10:29

United States Army 2-8-0 No. 610

Posted by: Swade Barned on Oct 25, 2022 @ 13:10:33
Currently awaiting restoration. It seems some work and ultra-sounding has begun on 610. Possibly preparing for a return to operation for when 630 goes out of service in 2025.

Posted by: Swade Barned on Oct 25, 2022 @ 13:10:14

Six Gun Territory 4-4-0 No. 4 'General Sam Houston'

Posted by: William M on Oct 25, 2022 @ 08:10:17
This locomotive is on display at the Kirby Family Farm in Williston as a gate guardian of sorts. Due to its condition, I believe the long term plan is to eventually install a diesel hydraulic engine so that it can at least run on the rails again. Sister locomotive #7 is also on site and is presently being stored in the siding.

Posted by: Steve Frost, European Editor on Oct 24, 2022 @ 16:10:22
A mysterious entry. dampflokomotivarchiv.de has the loco as being displayed at the water tower of the former DR railway depot. The last record on the site is from April 1999, so whether it is still there or whether it is not there is an interesting question. Any offers of more information?

British Railways 4-6-2 No. 35028 'Clan Line'

Posted by: Russell Newman on Oct 24, 2022 @ 13:10:56
The famous ex Southern Railway rebuilt Bulleid Merchant Navy Class Pacific No. 35028 "Clan Line" has had to be withdrawn from service for the rest of the year for heavy repairs to be carried out. As work to completed to repair the thermic syphons found on "Clan Line" at Stewarts Lane Depot. It had become clear though that more work is needed on the locomotive, and as a result, the Merchant Navy Locomotive Preservation Society have withdrawn the locomotive from hauling any more railtours in 2022. No. 35028 will leave Stewarts Lane for the work to be carried out by an external contracts for the work which will also see a retube of the boiler and superheater elements will be fitted, and once these tasks have been completed and a hydraulic test and checks complete before "Clan Line" returns to Stewarts Lane where it is hoped the locomotive will be back on the mainline again in 2023.
