3ABescot liked The Gricing Owl's post in the thread 35028 + British Pullman 2026.
Nice shots, thanks for posting them here. A couple of points about the Bickey Junction shot. Many decades ago there was a track down to the lineside where the house immediately to your left is now situtated. It was all open country side back...

3ABescot liked Spamcan81's post in the thread 35028 + British Pullman 2026.
Was in London today to visit to the Natural History Museum to view the Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibition. Some truly remarkable work on show. Highlight of the day though was this magnificent machine at London Victoria. 35028 was...

3ABescot liked Flying Phil's post in the thread 34039 Boscastle WC class.
As a more general question, there are quite a few people who have posted on this thread who presumably like Boscastle in particular. It would be interesting to know why they have that particular liking....to start things off... In my case I had a...

3ABescot liked mdewell's post in the thread Embsay and Bolton Abbey Railway Updates.
It would be nice if this info was on their website (or made clearer if it is somewhere on there). Currently their Events list includes lots of what seems to be generic advertising for stuff (mostly experiences and dining trains), but lacks...

3ABescot liked OldSchoolTrains2's post in the thread Embsay and Bolton Abbey Railway Updates.
As someone who likes both steam and diesel traction, that potential line-up of the two Hunslets, the P3, the Jinty and a 20, 31 and 37 does sound absolutely brilliant and noisy as hell on a line with some climbs! It would be a bit different if...

3ABescot liked Big Al's post in the thread RTC 2026.
Just so and as Tangmere is always out with its friend there is hopefully little chance that the trip will falter because of any problem up front. The more serious point is that if the RTC is offering a discount then it is trying to fill up the...

3ABescot liked 2857Harry's post in the thread RTC 2026.
You’d think in 2026 steam on the mainline would be appreciated regardless.
