British Railways 2-6-4T No. 80100

Posted by: ERH on Oct 31, 2024 @ 08:10:57
The Bluebell Railway have evaluated the sale of No 80100, and have decided to retain the locomotive. The reasons are that it is owned by the railway itself (80064 has left the line and 80151 is society owned) and that the 4MT tanks are a very useful class for the Bluebell. The locomotive is still in store in scrapyard condition at Horsted Keynes and there are currently no plans for overhaul, at least until BR standard 2MT Tank No 84030 is completed.

London & North Eastern Railway 4-6-0 No. 1264 (61264)

Posted by: Russell Newman on Oct 28, 2024 @ 13:10:29
As part of the overhaul and rebuild on ex LNER B1 Class 4-6-0 No. 61264, the locomotive is to have a brand new redisigined tender tank that will have space for the locomotive to be fitted with the European Train Control System (ETCS). ECTS is being introduced on the East Coast Mainline as part of the East Coast Digital Programme, along the route which was very familiar to No. 61264 in the days of steam. As well as making No. 61264 compatible with ECTS, the new tender tank will include a number of other refinements aimed at improving its functionality for the footplate crews. These include extending a diagonal plate to avoid the build-up of coal which is difficult to retrieve. This presents a particular problem when 61264 is operating on mainlines, where the overhead live wires prevent crew members from going into the coal space to rake it out. A manhole-like feature in the floor of the tank will also be included, to allow easier access when maintenance work and inspections are being carried out. Storage and cupboard space have also been improved to keep essential kit secure and out of the way. Despite these many modernising changes, the tender will still look the same from the outside and the locomotive’s appearance will not be altered. The new tender tank is just part of an extensive range of tasks being carried out on the Thompson B1 4-6-0, which will also include building a new inner firebox and replacing the locomotive’s tyres. This work is being carried out at the Great Central Railway in Nottingham, (which is what the Nottingham Heritage Railway is now known as) not far from where No. 61264 was based from 1960 until being withdrawn from service by British Railways in 1967. The Thompson B1 Locomotive Trust, which owns No. 61264, has set up a crowdfunding appeal to cover the costs of the new tender tank, which details can be found on their website and social media pages.

JNR 4-6-2 No. C57-93

Posted by: Steve Frost, European Editor on Oct 26, 2024 @ 13:10:08
It is hardly the entire front end. The description used is lengthy, but more accurate than 'front end only'. I will leave it as it is, thank you.

Kiryun Coal (Taiwan) 0-6-0T No. 5

Posted by: Steve Frost, European Editor on Oct 26, 2024 @ 13:10:15
Not much information to go on, but the photo clearly shows an 0-6-0T not an 0-4-0T, although it does carry the number 5. Is it completely wrong, or is it the wrong photo, or is the wheel arrangement incorrectly shown? I dont know, so I will leave it for now, until better information is available
