Gladiator 5076 antwortete auf das Thema West Somerset Railway General Discussion.
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 gefällt Britfoamers Beitrag in dem Thema 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...

Although even if it did that it will not make its turns tomorrow. My vote would be for the 58 as the replacement. Edit The railways Facebook says the 26.

Thanks, funnily enough decided to have a look on there after I posted here. I guess they may still have been hopeful if the move from Loughborough still went to Peterborough.

Not sure what is happening with the collection convoy. RTT says cancelled between Peterborough and Orton Mere. Also going via basically Birmingham seems a hell of a long way around from Peterborough to Swanage.

I'm a nostalgic diesel fan, late 50's and sixties. This is certainly a coup for the organisers. These loco's have only recently passed their acceptance trails and have never hauled passengers in this country. Well done them.

Not being a diesel fanatic I had to look up what a Class 99 is. Although I realise I have seen images of them in Railway Herald.:oops:

Gladiator 5076 gefällt The Gricing Owls Beitrag in dem Thema Photographing steam in the Karoo.
June 1990 and I think this is possibly the first time I filmed a 25NC, in this case 25NC 3432 on a complete container train. The 4-8-4 is heading through the slightly less semi-arid Karoo as it approaches Heuningneskloof station on train 2415...
