I recall, probably 15 yrs ago, an occasion when the A set was hauled by two Terriers. Can't remember why. What I do remember was that after the first trip UP the bank, the driver came in to a classroom where a signalling course was in progress....

Today was a long day track laying - nine hours. I was pooped, and am currently recovering in my hotel room with a bottle of Malbec... We laid five track panels today, one more than the average of four required to to meet our target of joining up...

"Bridge design and repair works can be phased to suit cashflow" This bit should have been tackled years ago. The bridge has been propped because the civil engineer has assessed it to be structurally failing, not at some time in the future but...

If you look at the timetable on the website it says steam between Pickering and Grosmont but diesel for part of the journey between Grosmont and Whitby although I’m not sure how that latter bit can be done. If you look on the Loco roster on the...

I wholly agree that the K&ESR does need larger locos and appreciate that the GWR tanks are probably ideal... at the same time, as I have commented before, I'd be sorry to see the motive power on this route become almost entirely Swindon-built......

I can see many many problems with the idea. But, if you don't try, you never find out. I doubt anyone is going to yes/no this on the basis of the 17 people whose travel plans and flexibility allowed them to take it up. But it will show up...
