RMweb Premium Temeraire Posted October 17, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 17, 2022 (edited) Morning all some pics from the weekend at Ropley where ‘Lion’ has started on the road to recovery. 50027 is getting into position in the yard on Friday to have the roof removed. 11.20am Saturday and the engine and generator are lifted clear of the engine room. The big oily hole left behind ready for a steam clean and paint. A few hours later the generator was split off and loaded onto a lorry ready for its journey to the Midlands this week. Everyone has fingers crossed that the issue with the generator can be overcome with a good clean and bake, but time will tell. 🤞 Thanks to all those involved in such an efficient and well organised operation on Saturday. https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/50027maingen?utm_term=MbvzQJQz9 Edited October 18, 2022 by Temeraire 9 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogerzilla Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 You can see why they don't use big DC machines any more. It's bad enough trying to stop a little ringfield motor sparking! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben B Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 (edited) An unexpected find from an a trawl back through my old emails; Keighley and Worth Valley Railway Diesel Gala, June 2010, and 50015 "Valiant" pilots "Vulcan" and 20031 out of Haworth, towards Oxenhope. I thought I'd lost this image a long time ago, but I'd forgotten I'd emailed a copy off to a friend, and it was still buried in the depths of an outbox :) Edited March 6, 2023 by Ben B Altered caption with correct name of the 50 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
