Bluebell Railway General Discussion

Loads in the back corners and thin everywhere else seems to work for me. Just watch out for it burning out in a strip about 1/3 way down the box.

I’d live to know how they were fired back in the day. If you get it right you can get to East Grinstead with what you start with at Sheffield Park in the back corners, just feeding the rest. But Newhaven is two to three times longer in time, so they must have fed the back on the move. You get the sense there must have been a big culture shock for a fireman ca. 1910 who hitherto had been on Gladstones and Billinton 4-4-0s.

I’d take a day on it over a Bulleid any day.

Yes, but don't forget they probably had regular crews, I think you'd adapt pretty quickly if you had it each day. I'd be interested to know what the longest non stop run was, presumably they stopped between London and the coast?
I'd agree, I'd probably rather take than than Archie

 

Saw something on Facebook about Wightwick Hall leaving the Bluebell Railway temporarily to go and film a TV Series. I can only assume if true this is for the new Harry Potter tv series does anyone know any information? Thanks.
