Just so and as Tangmere is always out with its friend there is hopefully little chance that the trip will falter because of any problem up front. The more serious point is that if the RTC is offering a discount then it is trying to fill up the...

It gets worse the more you think about it, even using guesstimates, rough figures and trying to extrapolate from the accounts. I can't imagine lighting up a 9F is going to be cheap with current coal prices, and an extra loco is lit up solely for...

Pedant alert: 76084 has also operated on the mainline in preservation, albeit to a much lesser extent than '79.

Just spotted this on YouTube. Originally published in 2014, but don't think I've seen it before. Definitely worth a watch if you're an admirer (even if you've already seen it)! [MEDIA]
