There is good news in the latest GCR/GM video, next years Winter Gala will not only have the T3 but also 35005 Canadian Pacific as guest locomotives. The 9F 92134 is also staying over the Christmas period. Also 8F 48305 has returned after...

Eastern Rail Services stock I believe. I am guessing an issue with Rail Adventure's new steam charter license, real shame.

My heart goes out to everyone involved in this, such a terrible thing to have happened. Hope the driver, fireman and support crew all get the support they need after all this.

First items of stock on road 2 at the carriage shed today. Road 1 on the right will now be extended a short distance to the rear. This will allow us to fit 5 x MK1 in the shed and therefore keep the service set under cover every night.

Just had time for a grab shot of 7029 arriving at Stourbridge before boarding. An enjoyable day as expected, especially the sound of the climb of Old Hill bank. [ATTACH]

The combination of sunshine breaking through the mist proved too elusive. At Danzey it was evident before and after the location but that was the most I saw of it all day. Well done those who found the sun. Blakedown, Danzey and after dark at...

Very enjoyable day out on the Worcester Shakespeare Express today, ran like clockwork as per usual. Shame the SVR Mogul wasn't ready, but Clun Castle ran beautifully, including a very noisy ascent of Old Hill bank. Was my mate's first experience...

acorb liked 35B's post in the thread The Gwili Railway thread.
I think each to their own is key here - what I get from @jamesd is a very clear sense of priorities that Gwili doesn't meet despite, to me, doesn't make sense. At the same radius, I'd seriously consider a day trip on its own merits but chacun a...
