  2. Britfoamer vond WorkingPressure225's post leuk in het topic Bluebell Railway | Giants of Steam | 16th-18th October 2026.

    Just watched the Country File week forecast, you guys in the South are in for quite a bit of the wet stuff. Our neighbours have just gone for a hiking holiday in the West Highlands and Islands of Scotland, looks like their luck is in, quite dry...

    Will the site be open before the first trains at 11.30? I'm thinking of shed shots during preparations, always a good watch.
