34072 can't run in SR livery - at least not legitimately - as it entered service in 1948! Tom

I've been mightily entertained by wibble on another forum where the matter of 34007's tender was being discussed. All manner of solutions were being proposed but nobody ever mentioned the possibility of 34081's tender being the answer. A few...

At least do it overnight so you can see the sparks. There's a PSOV video of 60007 doing a test run many years ago to see how the new spark arrester worked. One shot through a station late at night had a constant stream of sparks from the chimney,...

Back in March 1999 80098 ran an evening railtour named The Night Owl, which was a circular trip from Nottingham to Sheffield, (out via Barrow Hiil and return via Dronfield). It was originally supposed to be an ECS run to test out a new spark...

Email received from Vintage Trains: Thank you for booking on The Mayflower. You may be aware that, due to the recent heatwaves and lack of rain, there is currently a national ban on steam locomotives operating on the main line. If the steam ban...

I imagine with plans and slots for 5043 retyring , there isn't potentially a lot of latitude to change dates . I've washed the car, cut the lawn, put the washing out , everything possible to tempt rain and all to no avail

Hey all, For the grand finale for my journey to England, two steam-hauled special trains travelled along the Mainline to the coast on the 30th of May 2026. The first train (“English Riviera Express”), hauled by LNER 60007 “Sir Nigel Gresley”,...

In case anyone's interested, the old Ford Prefect which appears about 4.18 was and still is mine!

Yes, 2968 - or 13268, after 56 years I can't get the hang of calling her that! - will run with the correct Fowler tender. The first main line runs used, as acorb says, 5110's Stanier tender while a new tank was built for the Fowler tender. She...

I think there are two separate conversations going on here, which are being elided, not necessarily helpfully. One is the “is it prudent to run steam in the current weather conditions?” question. That is clearly a local decision, based on the...
