    What they appear (from the outside) to be doing is burying their collective heads in the sand, waiting for a U-turn from ORR. That position is evidently doing some harm to the Jacobite's reputation. How long they can maintain it is uncertain.

    The last few posts (Matin’s excepted) have been pure fantasy obviously written by people who have never visited the WHL. The gradients and curves on the Mallaig road will knock the stuffing out of any engine in a season, a Schools is fine for...

    Wow, that is great for them and for the Bluebell. I imagine you were very disappointed not to be asked to go so you could fire your favourite loco out on the main line. ;) Bryan

    Brake force AIUI - there have been ballast deliveries, but not on this service. A Bluebell crew on the footplate of Sir Archie (but with mainline PTS). Tom

    The Ardingly Branch. It may be remembered that some years ago, when training as a Bluebell guard, I produced the first draft of a map (‘White’s projection?’) which got the whole Railway on a single sheet of A4. That was in the days of the...

    Back on the mainline Sir Archie? Go for it! I timed this log some years back when on one of the the ten shillings and six pence Area 2 rovers, that covered Waterloo-Woking amongst other lines. Sid Burton was one of many genial drivers who...

    Well done indeed for capturing that. I wonder if it will be allowed up to near 60 mph, as shown on RTT. Is it a mixed Bluebell and main line steam driver crew I wonder? Bryan

    Well they seem to be still using the cancelled RTT schedule as it is now showing that the train is at the platform ready to go. I hope all goes well with 34059's return to Main Line metals. Sent from my XQ-BT52 using Tapatalk

  12. green five liked malc's post in the thread Bluebell Railway General Discussion.

    This move is Freightliner, not GBRF. This probably make things a bit more complicated as FL have only air-braked locos, whereas I believe GBRF have some 73s which are still dual braked. Looks like quite a complicated shunt is in progress to get...

    I seem to recall a few years ago when Camelot went to the WSR by rail, the WSR paid what the lorry move would have been and the excess amount for the rail move was paid by the Camelot Society, partly because they preferred not to have the lorry...
