    I've just enjoyed 80 miles of steam haulage today behind Erlestoke Manor at the WSR. It is a superb locomotive and handled the banks with ease. It certainly is a very popular loco with the WSR crews. [BJ]

    Another very pleasant day out on the Valley today. Once again both 813 / 7714 & D1015 very well loaded off Kidderminster this morning with plenty of families enjoying a late summer day out. I hope on balance that passenger figures have held up...

    Some on here may have been aware of the rumours about 4150 that had been circulating for some time. However, as discussed at yesterday's AGM and confirmed by email to Members this morning: "The good news is that at 20:58 on the eve of our AGM...

    It is funded through the WMRE. It’s a really joined up, collaborative scheme which is designed to test the water. There’s no loser in it at all. SVR get paid to run it as a contract job, so can’t lose. WMRE fund it, and get the data needed to...

    Thanks Tom. That was exactly the point I was making. Or trying to make. I knew a loco owner who did most of the overhaul himself, but wasn't a driver and almost lost interest when it worked. Some people are happy sleeping in a support coach...

    I tend to keep my emails fairly formal so that they're clear and easy for everyone to understand. The Instagram and TikTok content is much closer to how I am as a person day-to-day. It's definitely not an act! In our accounts, turnover is split...
