    Amen to that, and bravo to all those involved in organising the recent events :) The feedback from all those involved (passengers, volunteers, reps etc) has been tremendous. More to come soon I hope ;-) Away from this once again very dark corner...

    Clun at Stafford, in the morning getting ready for the climb up to Madeley summit once the Pendolino in the adjacent platform has departed and then catching the last rays of the evening sun during the set down stop. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]

    I'm just glanced through some of my photos from yesterday, picked out a few, done some very quick edits and made some very low res copies. As mentioned earlier, I was after specific loco shots. And I took advantage of the often overcast...

  13. Bluenosejohn liked Flying Phil's post in the thread Windcutter Wagons.

    As can be seen, wagon #711 is now in undercoat. It is having a new floor but we are trying to retain as much of the lower curved steel at the bottom of the sides as possible, as this is a typical characteristic of the 1970's re-bodies. There a...

  14. Johnb liked TheModster's post in the thread [Jun 7, 2024] Strictly Bulleid 2 7th-9th of June at Swanage Railway (Swanage Railway).

    My take on the event yesterday. Great effort from all involved, firstly to put the event on in the first place, but then to carry on going when things went wrong. Certainly was a record to capture eight different locomotives in a day: [MEDIA]
