JBTEvans liked acorb's post in the thread 6880 Betton Grange.
Had a very enjoyable day with round trips behind both the Grange and Saint. 6880 ran like a sewing machine with very little effort needed to shift a full 8 coach load. This is clearly a very powerful loco which will be popular and useful across...

7P6F liked Johnb's post in the thread 6880 Betton Grange.
It’s not really a new build but there is a lot of new metal in it and only a small team raising the money and working on it. A really impressive illustration of delivering the impossible. A big contrast to the last time I saw a Grange in action,...

maureen 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...
