    With Tornado otherwise engaged and Tangmere reportedly under repair it appears there is no available steam engine so if it does run it could be diesel-hauled unless 34067 is fixed.As Ian says it is no longer on the Northern Belle website so the...

    I had a day out to Stratford yesterday. Not a bad schedule from Derby, just two stands at signal/loop on the way back. Particularly in the morning the schedule was quite demanding but as far as I could tell the tractor did nothing at all. Put it...

    Any suggestion of sunshine around Stratford this afternoon proved to be wishful thinking. The mid-day run to Snow Hill at an amazingly empty Wilmcote. [ATTACH] and the return to Derby at an equally deserted Danzey. [ATTACH]

    Thanks Bryan. Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade is a favourite of the Wistle family, Oswald Jnr still wears a faded old T-shirt on which is printed a picture of the knight and the message. I don't know about wise though, perhaps as Kenny...

    Very nicely done. As the very old Knight said to Indiana Jones when he chose the correct Holy Grail " You have chosen . . . . .wisely" re that photo spot and the weather. Bryan

    I wasn't able to watch Thursday's Dalesman as Mrs W and I were on a short break in N Yorkshire; a couple of rides on the NYMR, fish & chips in Whitby, a bacon butty in Sandsend and a visit to the National Birds of Prey Centre were the highlights....

    Bye 'ell, I enjoyed that, thanks for posting it. In fact, thanks to all who went out to photo/video The Dalesman, for an old man with dodgy mobility it's great to see.
