It's been a funny old day, today we had Sunday lunch even though it's Saturday - no I'm not going bonkers, well no more so than usual. The problem has been caused by Sky TV, they moved the kick off time of Mrs W's team's next home match from 3pm...

92219 has now made it into the shed after 46464 vacated the space at the back of number 2 road. Dismantling is expected to start in June, so far there has been an independent boiler / firebox inspection and report, as well as a few rivet heads...

Took a ride behind Witherslack Hall yesterday: splendid Blue bells trackside above Williton, huge teddy bear at Teddy Bear crossing, and most significant of all lots of tree planting in the "potato field" above Trible bridge. hopefully the latter...

Well, here we are on the final section of nearly 2000 miles. Despite my sceptism I’ve really enjoyed it. I’ve been surprised at the amount I could hear the locos and that’s because they have been worked hard or very hard even when there has been...

JBTEvans liked Britfoamer's post in the thread East Lancs Railway.
Saturday 20 April and we flexed the members card again for a ride behind 4079 before it leaves, and chance for a walk to keep the hip from seizing up! Latest fitments to 4079 can be seen on top of the boiler at Irwell Vale, two thundering big...

JBTEvans replied to the thread RTC 2024.
When is the 'summer season' exactly? I am booked on the trip 19th May to Pembroke Dock and May can be very warm. I will NOT be happy if it's Mk2s and we are boiling to death only for them to stop running 2 weeks later. A big draw for me booking...

JBTEvans liked NathanP's post in the thread RTC 2024.
There might not be a summer season. In the latest Trackside magazine David Smith says that he's not planning to operate Mk2s during the Summer due to the unreliability of the aircon in the coaches. When Trackside specifically asked him "Does that...

On the YouTube clips linked on here of the recent Shap and Shakespeare trips I can see no CDL lights on the coaches.

Not as much at home as 32636 or (72 Fenchurch if you like). The local up to Hampton Loade from Bridgnorth this morning was absolutely rammed. It turned a few heads as when you approach the train from the opposite end to the loco you can't see it!...
