Your Nene Valley credentials shining a bit too brightly there… you're in Camelot country now… ;) Simon

A pleasant day in the Sussex countryside on Sunday. 2999 sounded and looked good, even if a tad out of place on green Mk.1 stock. 65 on the vintage set was very nice. [img]2026-04-19 GWR SAINT 4-6-0 2999 HORSTED HOUSE FARM - BLUEBELL RLY 040 by...

I haven't been having much luck with accessing the forum over the last couple of days but now I can get on I would belatedly like to add my thanks to everyone involved with operating another superb Gala. We visited Friday and Saturday and really...

East meets West !. 60007 at Sutton Bridge Jct this morning, just 4 minutes behind the preceding Manchester - Cardiff service. Many years ago 'Gresley' was my first steam haulage down the Marches. [ATTACH]

Thanks to the MHR folks for putting on a great event, I went on Saturday and everything ran pretty smoothly even with the issues with 68067. FR 20 was a real highlight for me, so much so that I changed my plans a couple of times to get an extra...

68067 had two firebars removed before being put out again yesterday. The driver told me it was now steaming a lot better. As it obviously couldn't be tested it still wasn't entrusted with the three coach rake on its own. The fireman also told...
