So, remember the three EEs yesterday? How about we make it 4? 50021 "Rodney" and 55009 "Alycidon" are heading down the hill this time, while 37508 and 37057 "Barbara Arbon" await the signal to restart their ascent to Oxenhope. @DelticPS @ColasRailUK @WorthValley

A major milestone was achieved over the weekend with the ongoing repairs to get 40 135 back in good health. The power unit has been removed ready for the next stage of having the crankshaft swapped. Thanks to the CFPS volunteers and the ELR for all the hard work.

I had cause to celebrate this today. The culmination of 27 years of effort by @DelticPS. Restoring the Voice of God to this great old machine. ‘Goliath was not a giant bullock; he was a racehorse.’
