    Enjoyable video. I got lucky with snow and a Mallet on scheduled services in the Selketal back in 2006. [IMG]2006-02-12 GERMANY 276 99 5906 DRAHTZUG by KING COBRA 92, on Flickr

    [MEDIA] My video about the HSB of the beginning of february. I never experienced the Selketal in snow. Some new rumors said, that the temporary closure of the Selketalbahn is now postponed. Unfortunately I have no offical source.

    £62.50 Castle to Liverpool on 13th June in Standard Class. Unbeatable price I suggest. We can achieve this by adding more TSOs than we usually do (up to five instead of two) and listening to the non enthusiast market for days out to an...

    What if the answer to improve revenue flow is to, without drastic action, improve marketing for the Grosmont-Pickering section. Take a leaf out of other lines' books: A steam train journey through beautiful scenery. Add some family events at...

    When the new signalling is installed the section times to Whitby will improve. It will much easier to work. Whitby does bring passengers in their hundreds every day, numbers that other railways see only on gala days. I saw the first train from...

    No one will care about a new speed record, any more than they’d care about a formula 1 car made of Bakelite. It’s an arms race no one is competing in, a curiosity and little more. Mallard is an emblem of much more than a number. Simon

    And the reality is that Mallard’s status will remain pretty unchallenged because of the gulf between 1938 and today. In just the same way that other previous record holders status remains unchallenged, despite subsequent advances - Bluebird being...

    Green Arrow was only overhauled last time due to private sponsorship by Dr Michael Peagram - a mere £100k then. I suspect it would need similar sponsorship now for any hope of change of fortune and at least 10 times that amount..
