ghost liked Dan Hill's post in the thread 6024 King Edward 1.
I think those images appear to come from an account on YouTube, who posted a YouTube short of the loco moving. Glad to see 6024 in steam again. Personally I hope it does end up in matching GWR livery to 5029, because (in my opinion at least) the...

This is a drawing as originally planned, some layout alterations have since been made but in essence this is how the building is planned to look

I was fortunate to be able to visit Cranmore engine shed yesterday. 46447 was outside in the sunshine with more parts being assembled. What struck me was the average age of the young fitters as it was probably only in the mid twenties. Well done...

On the contrary, I suspect that with both organisations working together, tidying up existing boundaries will be much more of a focus, with simple working agreements the focus. It’s amazing what can happen when people of goodwill engage with a...

ghost liked RichardSalmon's post in the thread Rolling Stock For Sale.
I was very pleased when I heard the GCR 567 group had rescued what is by the look of it, an eminently restorable carriage. They have a credible, modest, plan to save it for the future, a track record, and a proper organisational structure. Many...
