Paul Having spent the last few weeks re-locating myself back home to Aberllefenni, I am now more-or-less functional here and able to be at the railway rather...

I'll be up for a few days after agm day, when I am hoping to be working with Trefor on the diesel (was hoping to be firing but this'll be soimething new). I'll...
You might get two answers to that question, as it is reckoned that No 3 is very much a hybrid of bits from all three, even to the extent of having one frame...

As there are currently no thoughts of using No.5 on passenger trains, there would be no great advantage in fitting it with air brakes at present. Richard ... ...
Oh yes, I know we probably wouldn't use it for passengers, but fitting air brakes has been discussed in the past and I stumbled upon that loco and remembered...
At present the only air-braked diesel on the Corris is 6. What happens when it is unavailable for use? None of the TR diesels are used on passenger trains...
At present we have two locos able to haul passenger trains - Nos 6 (diesel) & 7 (steam). Normally No.7 runs all passenger services and No.6 is available as...
... Maybe CR6 is a bit less knackered than TR8, but it's not just the power issue. Those hydraulic things are really horrible to drive. Shelagh of Eskdale on...
I'll make a stand in defence of no 6! I was on the footplate on AGM day learning about how to drive it. I was allowed, under close supervision, to drive it...
Hi All Why not build a dummy trailer as per Lynton & Barnsaple? Then any loco can be used in an emergency! Anyhow No5 would struggle with a loaded passenger ...
