Preservation

One, LNER 876 (BR 65033), has survived to preservation and is the subject of a bid to restore it to working order. The Locomotive was preserved in 1972 for Beamish Museum. It was used at Beamish from 1975, pulling the restored NER Coach and the restored NER wagons between the Colliery Sidings and Station, until 1984 when it was declared unfit to run. It then languished in the station yard, with No 14 (Hawthorn Leslie) or the Diesel shunter moving it to keep the motion running on occasion. It was on static display until 2004/2005 when it was removed to the North Norfolk Railway for restoration. Hopefully in the next ten to fifteen years she will come back to Beamish.

The Raven C7 (NER Class Z) 4-4-2 Atlantics (1057 words)
Raven was a firm believer in the advantages of three cylinder locomotives such as smoother toque, easier blast on the fire, and better balanced rotating parts.
The first drawings were produced in October 1910 and referred to the class as Class V2.
This was later altered to Class Z. The first twenty C7s were built in 1911 by the North British Locomotive Co. The North Eastern Railway (NER) was still assessing the benefits of superheating.
visordown - C1 is a motorcycle? (1563 words)
As from now anyone riding the C1 will have to wear a safety / crash helmet as the case has been to appeal and as such becomes law unless overturned; and a further appeal is not likely.
I hope that the C1 riders regroup and have another challenge perhaps arguing that there needs to be another class of vehicle, rather then to try to push the helmet law requirements - I understand the judge hinted at such a possibility.
When a C1 rider is dibilitated with a broken neck, they will realise the error of their ways.
