Good to see at least some heritage locos are still moving with the current WCRC c**k up.. .. :D
 
These take me back to my trainspotting days, actually loved the noise of them!. :)
 
the engine in these locomotives was designed for a gunboat (Gerry Feinnes I tried to run a railway p66). hopefully the WCRC debacle is drawing to a conclusion as regarding the Jurassic steamer scheduled originally May 15 has been rescheduled for the 30th because the loco booked needs mainline testing (source vintage trains)
 
Still a lot of possible disruptions listed, all dependent on WCRC getting things sorted - or an alternative arrangement being made..

Something had to change to reduce the over-reliance of the UK steam heritage industry on one operator with a record of playing fast and loose with safety.
