The cost of FS, much vaunted and derided as the "Flying Moneypit" has now in my view been eclipsed by others, including Blue Peter, which Jeremy Hosking had quoted very publically last year as having cost him £5m. We are now in the era of the...

It would be interesting to see the income and expenditure cost of operating Scotsman. However, if the hire figures I’ve seen are correct then it should be cash positive at the end of its current ticket. Whether that money is put back into...

Everything would have to be done by contractors. The NRM no longer has a workshop.

All true, but points that beg further scrutiny. Two immediately come to mind. The first is that if NRM are concerned about the costs of doing the job themselves, some of that will be the result of what went wrong last time with Scotsman....

Even 2020 was the reopening day post-lockdown, not even Covid could stop it

I was on the first train that day, aged nine. It was the only railway event that my dad ever took me to - and here is my ticket (actually my dad's in all probability) to prove it[ATTACH] A day I remember well Peter

I would argue that the event will be even better than the Bluebell 65 event last year - not least because there’s 9 engines running over the weekend! Can’t wait for people to see what’s in store for this one… ;) Arguably the best bit of the...

From what I've heard it looks like Bluebell on Parade 2026 is going to be pretty amazing!!! It's a lot of locos to be running on one weekend!

Delighted to see Bluebell on Parade pop up in the email newsletter and it running for three days. I felt like I'd seen it mooted in one of the magazines' full-year special event listings and Aug 7-9 was tantalisingly blank on the Bluebell website...

Bluebell on Parade event details and timetable have been published. As theorised, Pullmans included with SR stock. I think nearly every available coach will be out during the weekend? Sunday cavalcade too - that was unexpected....

In 1964 I received a copy of a book as a birthday present that changed the world of railway photography for me and a whole generation, Decline of Steam. It meant the more adventurous (or foolhardy) would brave wind, rain and cold to get images...

I definitely escaped the worst of the day's rain with my morning trip. It looked horrendous, my thanks and admiration to John, Shep and Nige for braving the elements and posting some excellent images, despite the conditions. In the past I have...

In real terms, I suspect the full cost of the rebuild, nevermind the overrun will cost you around a penny (depending on your definitions of "cost" and "us"). If you've watched FS go through at full welly anywhere, I would submit you have had a...

Isn’t there a question of reversibility? That is, hypothetically you could remove the existing cylinder block and preserve it; and replace with a new set of cylinders (of any construction method, it wouldn’t matter visually); but doing so...
