Quite a contrast from 59 years ago. There is a well-kn0wn picture of 34021 Dartmoor working a Southampton Docks-Waterloo Boat train on 9th July...
I had exactly the same experience yesterday, in spite of ringing up the GWSR on Monday to confirm that it would be Manston. Still, it was a case...
The owning group must be very pleased by the positive reaction to 4150's return to steam. It would be so easy to say, "Oh, it's just another Large...
I have never had any enthusiasm for these railway wartime events for a different reason - namely because they don't (and indeed can't) give any...

Agree 100% - 41313 will be a popular visitor. Having already crossed the Solent on different occasions to visit the Bluebell, Spa Valley and...
Good to see someone else out for 35028's run yesterday. There was not one single post relating to the previous run, on 28th March, which suprised...
I must admit, I was a bit disappointed to read of the plans to turn 80151 to face north. Facing south does offer opportunities away from the more...
