  1. Romsey liked torgormaig's post in the thread Paddle Steamer Waverley.

    I am very impressed by the distances she covers around our coastline. They seem very keen on exposeing her to as large an audiance as possible. I was on her only a fortnight ago sailing past the Ardnamurchan peninsular on her final Hebridean...

  2. Romsey liked Oswald T Wistle's post in the thread Northern Belle 2025.

    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...

    Hi Neil, A quick correction - 193/213 1403 is at Weymouth. with the Victorian boarding houses just beyond the end of the platforms. The weird canopy shape is the remains of the overall roof which was removed in the late 1940's / early 1950's...

    Church Lane is the point work at the country end of Millbrook Freightliner terminal. Water has been taken in Southampton Up Goods Loop before now. That means a SWR set of stock often has to be moved and the locals in Cracknore Roads asked to...

  6. Romsey liked Big Al's post in the thread RTC 2025.

    Agree with the sentiments. The fact that Swanage offers a good destination plus a steam railway is a good draw. Sadly the days are long gone when you could have different locos down and back. Two hours haulage backwards is not every loco owner's...

    Hi Neil, Image 43 of 49 is at Waterloo with the 1930's signal box partly visible behind the loco smokebox. Incidentally 27/49 shows the loco paired with a Lord Nelson tender. An occasional but rarely photographed combination. Cheers, Neil
