An excellent copp and will look forward to seeing it at the valley! There are photos of it at the West Somerset in May 1998, so this may well be the last time it went elsewhere. Either way still getting on for 30 years! [IMG] Image from...

9681 will be our 2nd guest locomotive, courtesy of the DFLG and DFR. A huge thanks to the guys at the DFLG for this who’ve been superb to deal with. 9681 has very rarely left the DFR, perhaps a handful of times in its life at best. Certainly one...

It wasn’t so long ago that the first a steam loco support crew knew that it wouldn’t be running that day due to fire risk, was when the driver turned up in diesel driver uniform rather than steam crew blues! The loco was in steam, FTR’d and ready...

Ten years was my last visit to the NNR, funnily enough hauled by the N2. Ten years later I would return along with the N2. Here’s my version of accounts from yesterday’s ceremony, and running, if you’re interested ☺️ [MEDIA]
