Absolutely nothing wrong with new build locos , they fill gaps in the locomotive fleet of the UK I'm biased as I fire Lyn on the L&B but I think my point is valid.

Always nice to see the Groudle Glen busy and looking immaculate!

Why anyone would complain about a newbuild loco based on an original loco that ran on a heritage line defeats me. The original was scrapped, guys! Lines like this, the Corris and the Lynton and Barnstable have been brought back to life by newbuilds and give a huge amount of pleasure to enthusiasts and ordinary visitors alike.

Really enjoyable video.  For running a commercial service new build is definitely the way to go

Never mind the naysayers. In the words of Para Handy : "More steam Mr McPhail, more steam ! " 😀👍🚂

Working steam is better than stuffed and mounted or nonexistant in my view. Old, new, she steams I'm happy to see her.

Brilliant place to spend an afternoon. I've been in the workshops too,on a non running day.

A new build fleet of Castles for main line running with upgrades would be something

Very nice set up. If we are serious about taking steam forward then new build is the way to go.

Great video, very interesting and he's a good speaker on camera. Keep them coming.

An absolutely charming fleet ... whatever power source they use!

Enquiry: Is the location of the injector overflow pipes ever an issue?
