Hello again
Just a quick post to inform you that the CFPS had intended to run a further driver experience course with D335 during October but unfortunately the wear on the wheel flanges has reached a stage were we can no longer permit the loco to run till the tyres have been turned.
Further use could jeopardize hauling D335 over Network Rail to a wheel lathe facility and land us with a hefty cost of road transport to the lathe.
More news soon .....
Cheers
Lee
This blog is to keep all people that are interested in the engineering activities within the Class 40 Preservation Society who look after and maintain our two locomotives D335 (40135) and 345 (40145) for current and future generations to enjoy. Both our locomotives are proudly based at the East Lancashire Railway in Bury, Lancashire. The Society has just spent a great deal of money getting 40145 (345) back into working order. We still need YOUR help!!
