  2. Gladiator 5076 liked 5944's post in the thread LE movements, ECS and test runs 2026.

    "Having done some googling, the 27mph output seems to be the result of a redundant 'fix' to a problem with VSTP source data that was resolved last year. There was a bug with the NR data for VSTPs that multiplied their projected speeds by 2.24,...

    I guess if it red down here (cannot believe it is not) then the Yeovil Weymouth move for the loco would either need another diesel to be provided, or the loco to be turned at Yeovil and both the steam and diesel to swap ends along with the...

  4. Gladiator 5076 attached a file to the thread RTC: Tynesider - 4/7/26.

    I do not think I have ever seen three on a tour, I guess with opening windows all you would have heard were the 20's as they are not exactly quiet. Maybe this will be the new norm for a while (taken 14/08/18 during another heatwave) with a 47...

    To me it is not a case of WCRC can do not wrong, but rather amusement that its obviously annoys you so much, but you keep on coughing up the money to travel on these tours

    There have been lots of 27mph paths recently both for LE moves and some normal stuff such as tampers.

    It will depend on what criteria NR use. I also seem to remember someone (@Will RL ?)saying that it was set on the same day each week,, no idea what that day is.

  8. Gladiator 5076 replied to the thread Saphos Trains 2026.

    Fire risk was always done by NR zones which was why two places close to each other had different rules. I assume they still do it by zones, guess someone will know and the RTC trip will I think be in a different zone to the Saphos one, which will...

    Black is no steam at all. Red I believe is diesel behind steam, but could be wrong. Way back on one thread it was all explained. Edit I had copied from the original post to my hard drive. Green: Steam ok Amber: consider use of diesel Red:...

    I did notice there might have been a fire there as I crossed the bridge this morning taking my wife out to Corfe. Thanks for the info. I was surprised to see that there were still pax on the very late 16:40.

    Other than noticing it was the T3 today did not take too much notice until late on when I heard a diesel going out. Checking RTT and the webcam seemed to be an Avanti style delay to the 1440 from Norden. Loco issue or lineside fire?

    With the exception of the specifically marketed steam only trips such as Crewe Carlisle I thought virtually every Saphos trip has a diesel on the back.
