I’m also curious about contracts. If there was a signed contract with agreed fees, then changing those at short notice is not really on. But if there was no contract in place - what were the DFR doing advertising locos at a gala when they hadn’t...

It seems to me that communication is the key. If you're taking significant numbers of pre-bookings and it's likely that trains will sell out, then this should be clearly communicated through the website/social media. I'd suggest that the bet...

Last week we removed the point rodding crossing the tracks between the station and the bridge so the large crane does not damage it. Hopefully it will avoid the cranks, roller bases etc! Survey markers have been placed in the track and on the...

It's a popular spot. The line goes uphill, and into the tunnel there. Look the other way, and you'll see the plate layer's hut we're building: [ATTACH] (sorry about the contrast, my basic camera is not good with contrast.)

I thought of you Bryan, as I made a spur-of-the moment decision to photograph this double-header. I hadn't originally planned to go due to the north easterly wind - the curse especially of Freshfield Bank at this time of year, as many...

A fantastic weekend, I managed to visit on Thursday and Saturday so here's my video. For anyone who just wants to hear the castle I suggest jumping to 15:47 where its climbs the bank from Damems, note that the clip starts with it leaving Damems...

My wife and had a similar experience at the W&L a couple of years ago. In the queue to buy tickets at Llanfair the family in front of me was told that the train was fully booked. They turned around and went back to their car. I was then told the...

I think it's not impossible that a hastings diesel unit might have been allowed on a trial. The class 04 Dewry Diesels weighed 32 tons on all of the bridges all three axles would have been on the bridge at one time. Apart from Austen's bridge...

I've just received an email from RTC with this statement, "The Edinburgh Flyer - Saturday 4 April Highlights include: Running through Morpeth at maximum speed". Can anyone explain to me why this should be a highlight?

The giveaway is that 52044 still has her Barton-Wright smokebox door, rather than the Hughes one fitted a few years ago. Personally, I think the old one looked far better, but maybe that's just me...!

A brilliant day Saturday. Thanks to all concerned, Saint, Terriers, St4 and tank were amazing. Good time keeping always a seat available, organisers if you read this a Horsted set starting is a great idea, plenty of space on the train for all the...

They don't have the option, due to the platform lengths (already extended at Embsay), and they run more or less fixed formations.

Here you are Al - my shot of W8. I was on Fenchurch. First time I've been to the end of Platform 1 at Horsted on an engine! [ATTACH] Before leaving, I checked the Running Foreman's notes for the day. We were apparently 25 minutes late off...

Saturday saw me and a mate make the long trek for our first ever Bluebell gala. We were very impressed. Great railway, friendly staff and a cracking selection of locos, with plenty of noise. Wonderful selection of rolling stock too. The gala ran...
