2857’s boiler lift has happened today. Big progress towards the frames going to Riley’s.

Thanks to Martin for organising another excellent day, always a pleasure working one of these, especially when I can manage an escape to the gallery to see all our hard work roll past a few times :) [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]

silversteellady liked Ben Jenden's post in the thread 2026 Entries/Returnees and Withdrawals.
I have updated the pinned post - ticked off the locos that have already been withdrawn, added boiler tests for the M7 and 46447 and a few withdrawal dates that have been more clear since the set up of this thread.

silversteellady liked brennan's post in the thread East Somerset Spring Gala 2026.

silversteellady liked Duty Druid's post in the thread Mid Hants Railway Operational Matters.
There was no working party atop the hill yesterday, as Muggin's 'Ere found himself on lineside patrol duties along with @Hampshire Unit - some serious ballast yomping was done & we'd already done the two evening Nikon Shoots - helping those who'd...

silversteellady liked OldSchoolTrains2's post in the thread East Somerset Spring Gala 2026.
Really enjoyed this event, and very happy for the East Somerset that it was able to reap the benefits of being the first stop on what does look like it's going to turn into a bit of a tour for the GWR railcar. Operationally, this was a very sharp...

silversteellady liked Spamcan81's post in the thread East Lancs Railway.
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...

silversteellady liked Sheff's post in the thread East Lancs Railway.

silversteellady liked Fred Kerr's post in the thread Statfold Barn Spectacle of Steam 7&8 March.
For those who missed this - it wasn't a choice from the listed 14 but it WAS the actual runners on the day. A regular date in my calendar and on this date over 200 images taken between 10:00 and 16:00 without rushing around; my images attached...
