Gladiator 5076's Recent Activity

  1. Gladiator 5076 liked twr12's post in the thread RTC 2026.

    What has to be remembered, when moaning about the diesel doing most of the work, that the cross section of passengers on the train means that there is practically no option to cancel the train when Network Rail impose Red restrictions to steam...

    Or maybe because the last coach has a balcony and presumably air coming in they did not want a diesel there.

    I find it quite amazing to think that in the 59th Anniversary week of the End of Southern Steam there are no less than four Bullied Pacifics at large on the national network at present. We had 35028 out yesterday, 34046 today with 34028 and 34067...

    Failed buckeye I thought was the issue of the charter you were referring to and both the XC failures.

    37's and 47's may still be on use on the mainline but unless you are in "charter country" I suspect very few ever see one. 60's livery I suspect would not appeal to a lot of diesel fans, so if you also want to tap that market the two do not sit...

    Despite being pushed by a 47 and sitting in an air conditioned coach all day and only having just over an hour at Weymouth I felt it was as good as it was ever going to be. Who of those that can remember 9th July 1967 would believed on 9thJuly...

    A few images from yesterday. It was really only the novelty of the 33 hauling the loco and support coach that got me any further than Wareham, and the fact I could combine it with the return leg of the Statesman trip without having to go out...

    I guess we we have another heatwave in 2027 that could be a couple of 33's a green 47 and the 4VEP. Dirty up Archie and make out the yard is Nine Elms. :)
