As the first of this year's Fellsmans is planned to run on Wednesday 01 May I decided to take a look at Horton in Ribblesdale to see the state of play with NR's work in progress. [The rail connection to Horton in R quarry is being reinstated....

3ABescot liked Gladiator 5076's post in the thread Steam Dreams 2024.
I think is is just symptomatic of the disjointed modern railway. Locally to me XC may serve Bournemouth, but there are no XC staff at there, the two Southampton stations or Basingstoke as far as I am aware. I am not sure what decent info SWR...

3ABescot liked 2857Harry's post in the thread [Apr 18, 2024] Severn Valley Railway 2024 Spring Steam Gala (Severn Valley Railway).
Just to add with the Fenchurch Train and indeed other locals we are a little limited as to what we can do with what coaches for a few reasons. Firstly the paid carriage cleaners (mentioned above) also doubled up as a majority of our paid...

3ABescot liked The Gricing Owl's post in the thread LE movements, ECS and test runs 2024.
A nice long look at 35028 passing, thanks. I was perched in view up on the footbridge east of the station where I first learnt, and then saw that the up main doesn't actually exist at the present. Most of the point that saw the up main continue...

3ABescot liked Flying Phil's post in the thread 30777 to be overhauled.
Work on 777 had been paused whilst there was a possible asbestos investigation. Now work has been restarted but the bogie is still not replaced under the tender. I think the boiler work has been done in terms of rivetting, but it still needs all...
