I’ve been over the top at 49 with both Tornado and DoG long before the days of a box on the back. Can’t remember the loads off hand but I can find them

OK, it's messy but I have just registered that this trip is one of four steam trips today on the Big Railway and two of them are running without assistance. Not bad for 2026, I think.

“Let’s be honest” - many of us are sick and tired of WCRC’s nonsense.

Sheff liked 26D_M's post in the thread Jacobite 2026.
It seems to me WC is acting as if a crisis for them should be an emergency for others. What is fundamentally different now to the application for exemption made in early 2024? Logically the only difference could be the concession to a fitment...

Sheff liked Beardy's post in the thread Jacobite 2026.
Personally I don't see why West Coast should be given an exemption nor do I think they should be given one - They have had a couple of years now to fit CDL in Mk1s but have chosen not to (at least until recently if what you say is correct...

Sheff liked Breva's post in the thread Southwold Railway.
I got an acknowledgement too, a fairly personalised one, which was kind. So I hope my objection will hit the spot (to be added to the case files, it said)

Sheff liked James Hewett's post in the thread Southwold Railway.
Breva - and all who have already responded - our thanks. i doubt that SCC have often had such a number. it all helps - presumably - with their decision to pass it on to the district council planners, which might be good for us. lots more time...

Another month and some more updates. At LMS the midweek team have fitted the two sandboxes and await the 4 filler chutes which are being fabricated back at Toddington. The rear cylinder cladding is nearing completion and then hopefully the LHS...

Sheff liked Gladiator 5076's post in the thread Great Britain XVIII: 18/4 -25/4/26.
Plus I see little in the trip, if anything, that could be "cloned" from one of the regular itineraries, unless on the free day it ends up using the existing Jacobite path. So all 8 days likely will need to be planned on the intensive network. The...

Sheff liked cksteam's post in the thread North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.
The turntable was made operational again in October and was used to release one of the LNERCA carriages during the multitude of moves they were doing in the latter third of last year. If its gone awry again since then that would be bad luck, but...
