Is not the bus atop for the H13 actually nearer than the car park. Seem to remember it was when we lived in the LBH.

Gladiator 5076 liked 35B's post in the thread West Somerset Railway General Discussion.
To me it’s really simple. Minehead is “somewhere” so many holidaymakers, once there, won’t wish to travel. Especially not to “nowhere”. On the other hand, day trippers will wish to go “somewhere” and a steam train to a destination worth a few...

Gladiator 5076 liked The Gricing Owl's post in the thread Photographing steam in the Karoo.
Those 25NC were wonderful Cape Gauge (3 ft 6 inch) mixed traffic 4-8-4s. Below is 3467 on the 21 coach up Oranje Express on 12 July 1991. Some years after the train was dieselised, but returned to steam sometimes towards the end as part of the...

Although this was copied of the Railway's Facebook page I did see this sign affixed the gate at Harmans Cross Station yesterday afternoon. I find it quite sad that certain elements of our hobby need this sort of reminder.[ATTACH]

I suspect it is basically "The Whitby Issue" a mainly one way flow. Not enough to fill an early train from Minehead say at 10:20 which means it would either be very close to the the exiting 12:25 going back or spend ages sitting around burning...

I accept it was only doing a speed of 25 or less but could not believe how quiet the 99 was when I photographed it at Creech.

28 years on that really means nothing Fred. All sorts of things may have, and almost certainly will have, changed to accommodate new stock or other requirements.

Great work by the railway and WCRC to come up with 33025. Next problem seems to be for it and the two GBRF locos plus the 4TC to actually get here as the radio issues means very little seems to make it as far as Wareham since about 10:00. Diesel...

Gladiator 5076 liked Britfoamer's post in the thread WSR Spring Steam Gala 1-4 May 2026.
Even though the weather was dreary at times didn't stop us enjoying ourselves. Three days of rovers and half day on Monday at Minehead before we had to leave for the 5 hour trip back north. Time keeping left a little to be desired, but not a...
