This was my latest visit to my local heritage railway the Bo'ness and Kinneil Railway to catch up with what's being going on .

Glad you enjoyed it

Someting very reassuring the way the work around the loco is tackled. No fuss, just getting the job done and with such enthusiasm.

[@ecksfilesbonyuk8]

Bob thank you for your comments

[@BobbyNomad]

Is it just me, or does anybody else think that the Class 26 looks like a Sloth? Great vid Eck very informative update from Brian.

[@ecksfilesbonyuk8]

Thank you for your comments

There are few rhythms better than a Sulzer. What a soundtrack!

[@ecksfilesbonyuk8]

Indeed Phil I must agree great sound from a Sulzer.

It was good to have the 26 on the train on Saturday. Three drivers in the cab. Paperwork had to be completed because we haven't driven a 26 for a while and we are having a first train breakfast before departure.
The blue container has a diesel alternator set in it. The power unit (from a class 21/29) was built by the North British Locomotive Company under licence from MAN.

@01:41 do parents need to be told that seats are for bottoms and not for faux trampolines?

[@erenozkan2804]

Nice work going with 4MT. Is there any news or updates regarding the TCDD 45170 8f? Looks like everything has gone quite with the restoration of the loco. I see the tender is in the workshop.
