    I definitely escaped the worst of the day's rain with my morning trip. It looked horrendous, my thanks and admiration to John, Shep and Nige for braving the elements and posting some excellent images, despite the conditions. In the past I have...

    [ATTACH] The S&C really did itself proud weather wise today, wind, rain and plenty of it greeted the inaugural 'Fellsman' rail tour headed by No. 60532 'Blue Peter' as it worked 1Z46 away from Helwith Bridge over the River Ribble heading for...

    Some capabilities might have improved but capacity is another matter. Who would you approach to make such a monoblock casting? You would want it defect free and the original design would be in need of examination and adjustment to eliminate any...

    Sorry @Drewry Car but this did make me chuckle. And yes, as a professional writer*, I've been hoist by my own petard in that manner many times ;) One only has to take a cursory glance at the BBC news and sport web sites (two words) to see how...
