Paul42 liked Steve's post in the thread 1994 Blue Peter incident.
I’ve previously recounted on The forum the events on the footplate of 60532 on that day, as told to me by the NELPG rep on the footplate. He was sat on the fireman’s seat when it happened. Unfortunately, the driver had not put the catch in on...

The spare pannier boiler is in bridgnorth yard as it has been since it came off 7714. I don't think any work has been undertaken on it. On a separate note, 4150 hauled it's first passenger train in preservation today, double heading with 7714.

Paul42 liked Fireline's post in the thread Kent & East Sussex Railway.
I'm afraid that the "light railway vision" is fabulous, but doesn't pay the rent. The fact is, we need engines that can get 5 mk1's up Tenterden bank. The ethos of getting "whatever is available" was prevalent at the start of preservation, but...

Some pictures of Monday (7/7/26) afternoon's outing along the shores of Lake Maggiore between Luino (Italy) and Cadenzzo (Switzerland) with 625.116. The running was sprightly, the scenery spectacular but off train photography was non-existant...

First of all, an appeal: Fondo Ambiente Italiano stages this poll for the most beloved places. We would like to have the Primolano Railway Museum and his shed in the top 100, to gain more visibility. Please vote. It is free of charge, it just...

Paul42 liked Breva's post in the thread Kent & East Sussex Railway.
A KESR preservation history question: [ATTACH] I'm scanning my photographs from the early days of the K&ESR, and the caption to this one says: BSK S 34626 cut down to underframe for GNR body. This was on 15.09.1977. The body in question, in...

Paul42 liked 2857Harry's post in the thread Midland Pullman HST Tours 2026.
We travelled yesterday on the Midland Pullman to Oban. 0500 off Durham, and 2344 back (17 earlier than booked!). The Train - As ever with LSL it was immaculate and presented to the highest standard. We’d purchased my mum some flowers for her...

Paul42 liked Jamessquared's post in the thread SVR General Discussion.
Even assuming it is sufficient time in ideal circumstances - what happens when a late running SVR service causes the WMR one to be delayed? Or a late running WMR service delays an SVR one? You run the risk that the tail wags the dog - ie a...
