Gladiator 5076's Recente Activiteit

    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.

    Do we know if this is due to the fire risk classification and SNG is not allowed to move under its own power?

    It is a tough call. Really none of these things can represent the war, from a railway perspective often the stock or locos are wrong (although the SVR has more chance than most at accuracy) but what is trying to be depicted? If it is billed as...

    Does he have any mainline loco suitable for Whitby? Has 44932 got a current mainline cert? Or are you suggesting just for internal NYMR services.

    I think “serious financial trouble” is too much, but it is not a secret that for many years the Plc has run at a loss, cushioned by transfers from the Society membership subscriptions and donations. There is no imminent crisis brewing, but...

    The critical months are June/July, arable crops are getting towards harvest, grass and scrubland still has the previous year’s die back with the new growth not established enough to dampen any sparks. A fire, particularly in ripened arable crops...

    It is critical. We have a duty not only to our customers, but to our neighbours, too. Farms right along the line have crops in tinder dry fields right now. In one area, we have flax planted right next to the line. I am told that if that were to...

    With another heatwave forecast for the weekend/early next week at the London end, and little or no rain forecasted for the route I wonder if this will be steam hauled. Be a great shame if not as an anniversary train.

    One of the things that I class as a part of the heritage experience when visiting a heritage railway is the issue of an Edmondson card ticket stamped in a dating press. It’s such a simple thing to do and provides an experience of something once...

    I'm not altogether surprised at the pattern - going out for a restaurant grade meal deep in the country is something I'd be reluctant to do if I weren't staying within walking distance after the meal. I've done it before, and the drive home...

    Yes Embsay is the coach tour line and Bluebell always seems to have lots of non railway specific events, such as the ice skating, which even worked during a gala the other year.

    I chose those two because there is a lot of heritage stock at these railways. You have always made an issue over the NYMR focussing on Mk1's. My point being there is in my opinion no "correct model" for a heritage line anymore. You have to go...
