Paul42 gefällt OldSchoolTrains2s Beitrag in dem Thema WSR Autumn Steam Gala: 25th - 27th September 2026.
The original post was definitely clumsy and unfair, but I agree with Sidmouth's sentiment that 'gala season' creates tough competition. My ideal diary for the next 8 weeks includes the SVR steam gala, NYMR steam gala, Blaenavon steam gala, WSR...

I understand the op's sentiment but the way it is said could have been better. There is a lot of choice on gala's through september and october , and attendance plus travel plus sustenance , plus accomodation soon mounts up at a time when...

From what I've seen of other projects, like the Bluebell's regular replacements, the track laying itself is pretty quick - the time consuming bit is preparing the bed for it to go on, getting it all smooth and at the correct attitude, working out...

The pace is really set by civil engineering (bridges/ drainage/ embankments to be rebuilt, coupled with accessibility. Thats why its being done in a particular order, rather than sequentially.

A huge thank you to everybody involved with last week's gala. As somebody who grew up in the 1980s/1990s it really did take me back. Seeing all the liveries, but also the station signs, clocks and even bins. What an atmosphere at Horsted Keynes,...

Patience! Track laying is generally one week per month, not every week. You ask when our wonderful K&ESR volunteer P Way team will run out of trackbed - the construction programme anticipates we run out of trackbed on which to lay any more track...

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.

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...
