January Update

On Thursday 24th January 2013, 71000 and support coach will be

 moved by rail from the former Eastleigh Works to LNWR Heritage, 

Crewe. Whilst at Crewe the condition of the locomotive will be 

examined with a view to assessing the scope and the likely cost of 

the overhaul. At least three contractors will be invited to give quotes. 

Following this, and if deemed to be feasible the 71000 Trust may 

operate the locomotive on preserved lines in 2013 until overhaul 

arrangements are finalised.

 

The 71000 Trust wishes to thank all of the Duke's followers, 

including the Owners of the locomotive for their patience and kind offers

 of help since withdrawal from service in August 2012. Above all, we wish

 to express our indebtedness to Arlington Fleet Services, Eastleigh for 

their help in stabling the locomotive in recent months.
