    I have heard a few tales regarding things that HIT have tried to pull over the years. It's crazy, they have managed to pretty much kill the goose with the golden egg by failing to recognise the importance that the live stuff has with regard to...

    From my house just south of Leeds at 15:50 on a normal working Tuesday, Pickering is 70 minutes whilst the ELR station at Bury is 99 minutes. But the point is absolutely valid, that there's a section of West Yorkshire where they're in...

    I did quite a lot of my photography, and later on my filming, in winter pre-dawns in the Northern Karoo. Fabulous low light with a variety of sky colours as they developed before sun rise, to some extent depending on where distant winds had...

    Yesterday was grim, we even had a few flakes of snow before the heavy rain set in. Today was much better, dry and sunny with little or no wind but cool - a good day for "puffering". My original plan to watch the train at Entwistle, on the direct...

    Yes, that’s as I recall it too (had forgotten the Garratt. You’ve saved me trying to find my copy, post- house move.

    AFAIK just one other loco was converted in the experiment, a GEA(?) Garratt. The 19C was nicknamed Takbok and the Garratt Renoster - Afrikaans for reindeer and rhinoceros respectively. I think there’s a picture of both of them in The Great Steam...

    For the uninitiated, iirc this was a rather left-field experiment in spark arresting. Needless to say it wasn’t repeated!

    Perhaps having exhaust arrangements like this SAR Class 19C could be an option. :) [ATTACH]

    Also, you never know who the person who is your guest might be- they might be a person who would consider volunteering, or a person who might consider making a donation one day. On a more personal note; We had a lovely experience on the NYMR a...

    Hardly. You’re assuming I meant some sort of diktat or fiat. I was assuming an organisation, professional or amateur, comes up with and communicates what it is doing - ideally in the most collaborative way - and (especially in the volunteer...

    I totally get this, and I’m not disagreeing but I want to amplify the bit about balance. I have been steam dept, in the dim and distant past - but the reverse of your comment is also true. These are businesses and *if* they have come down on the...

    As @21B says, this means that the trainee/cleaner can't ride on the loco for that trip if one is rotered and. on the NYMR, that's usually the case. I try and make the footplate passenger part of the team by inviting him/her to fill the back end...
