acorb liked guycarr360's post in the thread Tornado.

Daddsie71b liked Rumpole's post in the thread [Jun 7, 2024] Strictly Bulleid 2 7th-9th of June at Swanage Railway (Swanage Railway).
The key question there is how many of those extras in 2017 were travelling on passes or significant discounts, which weren't available this year. There are several other comparisons where 2024 blows 2017 out of the water.

35B liked MellishR's post in the thread Tornado.
That accusation rings very true for some organisations discussed on here, but it is not clear to me how the way the A1 Trust has been run recently is in anyone's interests. What could the present trustees be getting from it that would motivate...

Sir Ralph Wedgwood replied to the thread Tornado.
Definitely disagree with plinthing but trust now needs to be rebuilt from the ground up after the current regime has spent the last few years what took 30 years to build. The current lightweight and complicit board is incapable of doing this and...

MellishR replied to the thread Bulleid Pacifics - Past or Present.
Several recent videos have shown Tangmere's exhaust sounding very uneven. I'm aware of criticisms of the steam reverser on an unrebuilt Bulleid, but wouldn't that result in the wrong cutoff on all three cylinders rather than the very uneven valve...
