osprey liked 6026 King John's post in the thread Saphos 2024.
Not necessarily - I don't fit into either of those groups. I'm a 60 year old who doesn't remember steam in BR days. I developed an interest both in steam and the history of the railways in my thirties. It's something that has given me enormous...

Sir Ralph Wedgwood replied to the thread Current and Proposed New-Builds.
They’ve really managed to turn this project around recently. So many new build projects now making excellent progress. Shame the moribund No. 2007 isn’t one of them.

Sheff liked Sir Ralph Wedgwood's post in the thread Tornado.
Apparently lots of issues with the old boiler which was supposed to be swapped with the first of the new boilers during this overhaul. I wouldn’t be surprised at additional stay work being required within a few months - subject of course to...

26D_M liked 30567's post in the thread Saphos 2024.

Wenlock liked Breva's post in the thread Rother Valley Railway.
Well that's a relief. I went to Robertsbridge a few weeks back, visited the railway, stayed in a hotel there, ate a meal there. That's what it's about, isn't it?
