It would be a pity if we were to see an influx of 23Es type on to this forum and it become like nat pres.

I agree

It doesn't seem to bode well for the future when somebody stirs things up on his first three posts

Aye, only one rule on the forum, keep it friendly. I've not banned anyone yet, not that I can remember anyway, like to keep it that way.

This post isn't aimed at anyone in particular, just a general reminder.

I hope to share the results of that ensuing research in the railway press in due course.

This little snippet probably explains a lot about the attitude.

Ancient steam type. Just buy diesel - you know it makes sense!

That is probably more cryptic than 23E's missives

Perhaps you can enlighten us mere mortals regarding what this is all about?

What started out as an interesting post ...
Still good luck to who ever owns locos and where ever they go.
How complete are they, notice in several of the photos small number of parts missing. Rods possibly removed to ease moving onto transport trailers.

Well if I knew I'd stirred up a nest of W. D hornets I perhaps shouldn't have started the topic off in the first place!( I say this with tongue in cheek of course) Though at least were able to see the locos at Portbury Thanks to the pictures supplied.
Myself I will look forward to perhaps reading about the happenings in our area in and around Bristol and never bring up the subjects of the (Don't mention the War) W. D locos ever again !
Regards to all and Happy new year too. Anthony

Anyways..... so are they still at Portbury or have they shifted now? Its been an interesting story & ive enjoyed the wait for them to arrive & the pics are great. Hope to see more soon.

Interesting link there Bristolian I've just been perusing it and so one up to Northumberland then? The other a bit closer to home though perhaps not able to be viewed?

Neither is geography, Antnee. Shildon is in County Durham.

Hello Tim,

Might I ask what browser you're using?
The website is only a railway forum! I use Opera - which is regarded as the safest browser, by default...

Google Chrome on Mac. The whole screen goes red when I click on the link. Strangely Chrome on PC doesn't have the same reaction. I don't dare try it with Internet Explorer in case it really does have malware.

And to think I used to drive all over the country when I was at work, and find all these places without a sat nav too, perhaps someone has moved the border ! "I do stand corrected of course and beg your humble forgiveness your honour". I hope you can laugh about my sense of humour as I think as long as we all have the subject of Bristol, steam locos, and whats left of the surrounding area's railways at heart we are doing it right. Though to get back to the 8F's. It will perhaps be quite a few years before either is up and running. What does anyone else think?
Regards to all Antnee
P.S Well anyway north of Watford (Herts?) is strange country!
