London Midland & Scottish Railway 4-6-0 No. 44932 (4932) Posted by: Russell Newman on Dec 30, 2024 @ 09:12:37 With its festive duties at the Keighley & Worth Valley Railway now finnished for the year, ex LMS Black Five 4-6-0 No. 44932, will be returing home to West Coast Railway Company’s depot at Carnforth in Lancashire for the winter and to await other work to come in 2025. If it will ever return to mainline railtour duties in 2025 given the current situation with central door locking not being fitted to West Coast Railway Company’s fleet of Mk1 Carriages is qustionable? But No. 44932 will be maintained and kept to mainline standards still for other work for the time being at leasted. FS 2-6-0T No. R302.23 Posted by: Giuseppe Santangelo on Dec 30, 2024 @ 06:12:09 Chosen in the 1950s as a locomotive destined for the national railway museum, it was restored and preserved in Rome and then in Merano. In the 1980s it returned to Castelvetrano and was unfortunately demolished in October 2001 together with R302 028 and 033.

Its last shed on BR (British Railways) was at Lostock Hall from April 1968. No. 44806 is another end of steam survivor from 1968, as it had finnished its working days with BR having been used as station pilot at Preston as its final dutiess in August that year. No. 44806 was bought by the late Kenneth Aldcroft and was preserved at Carnforth Motive Power Depot, then operating as Steamtown Carnforth, and for a time it became a Green Five!! An odd livery for a Black Five then. In 1973 No. 44806 was moved to the then newly opened Lakeside & Haverthwaite Railway, but was not idea for the line being too big for their operations and with basic facilities then. During its short time at the Lakeside & Haverthwaite Railway it received the name "Magpie" after the ITV Childrens Show of the same name which No. 44806 was featured in it then. In 1974 No. 44806 was moved to the now long closed Steamport Southport Centre where it spent some time in storage there, but in the 1990s it moved to the Llangollen Railway where it ran from 1995 to 2003 and again from 2007 to 2013. In 2014 No. 44806 was sold and was moved to the North Yorkshire Moors Railway where it ran until it was withdrawn for another overhaul in 2018. In 2020 it was sold again to Peter Best a long-time benefactor to the North Yorkshire Moors Railway and returned it to steam again in 2023 and since then No. 44806 is a popular member to the running fleet at the railway.

RSR 2-8-2 No. 326 Posted by: rob schepp on Dec 28, 2024 @ 07:12:28 In 2008 we were travelling around in the Isaan and we stayed for one night in the kajorn farm resort, although it was permanentely closed.

Regards rob schepp utrecht Netherlands Iraqi Railway(WD) 2-8-0 No. 1429(547) Posted by: Russell Newman on Dec 27, 2024 @ 13:12:01 The former War Department and Iraqi Railway 8F 2-8-0 No. 1429 (WD No. 547), is one of the amazing steam survivors. Built in 1941 by the North British Locomotive Company in Glasgow, Scotland, it was sent out to Iraq during the Second World War and was one of 12 LMS 8F 2-8-0 locomotives acquired by the Iraqi State Railways after the war between 1945 and 1948. There was an attempt to repatriate this locomotive back to the UK back in 1990 but sadly it was thwarted by the outbreak of the first Gulf War. No. 1429 was last heard of in 2014, when plans were being made for a cosmetic restoration, but nothing has been heard of it since then?? London Midland & Scottish Railway 2-8-0 No. 48518 Posted by: Russell Newman on Dec 27, 2024 @ 13:12:19 There is not much left of the only remaining LNER Doncaster built LMS 8F 2-8-0 No. 48158, as its mainframes were cut up for scrap in 2013 sadly, but most of its parts will live on as its firebox is being used in the new-build replica GWR Hawksworth County Class 4-6-0 No. 1014 "County of Glamorgan", while its boiler barrel has been sold to be used as a spare for sister 8F No. 48173, at the Churnet Valley Railway, while its driving wheels have been sold for use as a spare set for sister 8F No. 48624 at the Great Central Railway.

Creekmore Park Railway 4-6-2 No. 999 Posted by: Nate V on Dec 25, 2024 @ 21:12:37 I believe this locomotive is at Fort Smith Arkansas (AR), not Arizona (AZ). Unknown 2-4-0T No. 11 'Criollo' Posted by: Douglas Bailey on Dec 25, 2024 @ 08:12:05 The exact origins of Criollo are not certain, possibly originally built by Manning Wardle in the 1880s. It has been suggested to be North Western Uruguay Railway (NWUR) No. 11 Hasketh (Manning Wardle No. 634 of 1877 as a standard MW F class 0-4-0ST) originally used by Baynes & Squire contractors who imported the loco into Uruguay and purchased by NWUR around 1882/83. However Hasketh had outside cylinders and some other differences. Regardless it was rebuilt by the NWUR in 1895 at Salto works and named Criollo for NWUR use, with the cab and wheels matching the dimensions of other larger NWUR locos built by Hunslet.

Seibu Railway (Japanese Military Railway) 0­-10-­0T No. 3 (E103) Posted by: Yuki Taki on Dec 24, 2024 @ 19:12:46 Previous post is incorrect. The locomotive is indeed an 0-10-0T.
