dullsteamer Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 A lot of squabbling, back-stabbing and arse-covering over who would accept responsibilty for RAW Meiningen not being provided with a proper and complete specification for the new boiler. I have to laugh when I recall that most of the justification for returning '01 to Thirlmere was the claim that 3801 Ltd had neither the money or the resources to rebuild the engine within a reasonable time. If the engine is returned to traffic in late 2017 it will have been off the road for slightly over 10 years, so that must be a reasonable time according to THNSW and it's predecessors. I'm also amused by the comments regarding 3830 being repaired by Thirlmere while "respecting the conservation imperatives of MAAS." It was employees/representatives of the MAAS that buggered the engine in the first place. Mark Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blue Streak Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 (edited) A Few Photo's taken by my Dad in the very Early 80's of a ex WAGR W class at Armadale in WA when HVR were still running mainline trains. These are scanned from photo's printed from slides so quality's not that flash sorry. But still a bit of History, check out that extra water tender !! The Station area itself has completely changed now and the station building itself (some of it just visible in the last photo), has been torn down and replaced twice in 30 years from the original historic station, to a plastic red one in the late 80's and now a more historic looking item ???????

DavidB-AU Posted October 29, 2015 Author Share Posted October 29, 2015 Stored QR Heritage 1651 was dead hauled from Redbank to Ipswich today. It has been used as a source of spare parts for 1620 but there are rumours about it returning to the main line as a backup for the class leader. Also note 1746 is freshly outshopped from overhaul and repaint. Cheers David 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was the first time a train has traversed the line since 2005, and was a major occasion. Footage from Tickhole Productions: 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
