    Well, we've never seen that before in the heritage railway world, have we? Noel

    From Steamport Southport an attempt to acquire 42765 was made, but beaten to it by Andy? Didn't get much past selling pens etc with the memorable tag line Catch a Crab A group of us had a day out to Barry to view our target probably about 1975 - 6.

    34072 and 31806 today, as I discovered when I decided to go to HX to photograph the T3 as I had to go out to collect some drugs at Boots for my dad. You think I would look out the window to check what was running (or at least look at the webcam)....

    The reason Black 5's are more popular than 8F's is probably quite simply because the Railway has always had them 'on the books' with 44767, 44806, 45212 & 45428 being long term residents over the years. 8F' have only ever visited for galas or...

    The NYMR and Repton are not a good match, in my view although it is good that the loco is preserved. I would have thought that a semi-permanent swap of Repton with something more appropriate on the GCR might help.

    Hands up - I lazily Googled it without a thorough fact check, which I should have done as I also raised an eyebrow.

    Would they not have used D49s on the line in pre-closure days? They seem not much different from a Schools in driving wheel diameter and adhesive weight, albeit less powerful. Don't know about this running tender-first business - I'd have...

    Given good rail conditions, Repton will drag 7 up the hill to Goathland in both directions. However, any reduction in adhesive ratio becomes a problem. In theory, you need 13,538 lbf darawbar pull to drag 7 full coaches up the 1 in 49 and 6,648...

    It struggled for a while years ago because it needed tyre turning. After that it didn't seem to have too many problems. Due to its uniqueness and being so different to everything else based on the line, I think it's just one of those locos that's...

    Dying indeed, if the distinction between its and it's is so completely lost- or are you blaming that on AI?

    On a visit to Scarborough sea front earlier this year there was a lamp post banner with "diesel" spelt incorrectly on it. It has since been replaced with one with the correct spelling. The promotion of the railway in such a prominent location...

    Somewhat ironic given the purported fastidious adherence to consumer protection rules regularly cited by a certain official of the railway as reason for policy decisions.
