A good day yesterday. Managed to get a good couple of rides in behind the Duke, and a trip in the 'very bouncy' Pug & Judy show. It was amusing being able to see a clear view of the line from the auto-coach over the *top* of the hauling loco! Was...

Thanks to all the volunteers who make these galas possible. Especially those willing to work the late turns to produce, as mentioned above, something very special. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]

Another great day yesterday and today. Stayed at The Grange in Arley, very comfortable small hotel where you are based in the quiet rural centre of the line. And leaving the Duke last night and walking back in the dark with it's chime whistle...

Under a waxing Moon, 34028 forges past Felhampton, on the way to the summit at Little Stretton. Almost dark as the Sun had set ages ago, there was but a smidgen of data on the histogram............. [ATTACH] Cheerz, Alan

Yes, indeed a very good day at the Severn Valley today. I managed the equivalent of a round trip behind The Duke and very good it was too. It's a superb bit of kit and I really must do a mainline trip with it before long. Also got some mileage...

[ATTACH] Lovely day with trains running exceptionally to time (well once I arrived, had to come down from Manchester through the overhead electric chaos). Services seemed a bit lightly loaded outside of peak hours and the Duke's rake, but we'll...

3ABescot liked Steve's post in the thread North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.
We (or at least, I) don't know what is included in the quoted £250K. It may well include the hire of the scaffolding and propping until it is no longer required and not just the installation. If I was costing up the works, I'd have certainly...

Whilst waiting for the seaside express the competition came trundling through, heading for Crewe: [ATTACH] Then an hour or so later the pair of Type 3s returned. It seems they picked up a souvenir headboard from one of the seaside shops in...
