Some photos from the last two days of the gala. I did manage a ride on the night trains on Saturday/a bit of Sunday in between taking these and catching up on sleep in the tent! [img] [img] [img] [img] [img] [img] [img] [img] [img] [img]

I'm not sure whether this is aimed at me as a negative or a positive. When you see constant publications in the world about X loss or Y appeal, I thought some might like to see that it isn't all bad news.

Short Swing Link and Long Swing Link HST trailers had coding on TOPS to that effect. I don't know whether loco hauled mark 3's were also coded for swing links. This is where nothing beats years of experience and a good memory in train planning or...

A very, very upbeat and encouraging newsletter this evening. Aside from the construction news, the key takeaways are the formation of a driving wheels/ crank axle/ trailing axle/ springs fund ('any and all donations gratefully received') and...

2TANX liked jamesd's post in the thread WCR 2024 Railtours.
Presumably the timing on Tangmere being so out is down to a stretched chain (s)? Is that a simple fix? Is there scope to tighten the chain or is it a case of replacing it? Wikipedia says the following so presumably all preserved Bulleids have had...
