    A great weekend with the Scot which I sampled from the lineside and onboard. Glad to see the Scot wasn't just tootling about and was actually working well. With another impending heatwave on the way the event maybe just came at the right time. I...

    Agreed, 46115 was a very welcome visitor. A couple of mine from Saturday. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]

    Very much enjoyed myself on this yesterday. A proper credit to 10A. The best of the Carnforth fleet in my opinion. Very grateful to WCR for providing the loco and the opportunity to fire it.

    Really enjoyed this event. As others have said it was a good timetable with plenty of movement. The Rail 200 train at Kidderminster was better more engaging than I was expecting to be honest and the 'explainers' were good without being pushy....

    Nice video. But Tornado, our most modern, powerful and up to date locomotive, being assisted under leaden skies is really a strange and contradictory sight to see.

    [ATTACH] Stourbridge Junction again, in rather better light than Friday. Thankfully the late running Kidderminster-bound unit waited a few seconds and avoided bowling us.

    46115 hauling 7 maroon mk.1s today and an LMS coach at the southern end. Looks very good. Train very busy, all good news for the railway. GWR 14xx on the autotrain, sandwiched between two auto-trailers. <BJ>

    Steam returns to Ruddington!!! Crossing Asher Lane this morning, reasonable passenger numbers (and no diesel on the back!) [MEDIA]

  9. acorb replied to the thread 30777 to be overhauled.

    45305 has done a fair bit of work with VT over the years, but can't see there being a market for more than a couple of trips a year with VT for 30777, when they have their own locos (similar to Bahamas which is reportedly gaining air brake...

    Really enjoyed the event yesterday, excellent variety and thoroughly enjoyed a couple of runs behind 46115 - sounded superb on the run up to the tunnel. My parents really enjoyed the auto train and D1062 always a firm favourite too with plenty of...

    I note that he was charged with polluting the river. There was also much mention of the blockage of the road. Yet I can see little if any mention of damage to, and blockage of, the railway.
