    The visitors all ready for tomorrow. Note that anyone coming by car and hoping to use the toilets in the main car park before heading off to the station, they are currently closed.[ATTACH] [ATTACH]

    I hadn't heard that one. Interesting that Birch Grove and Fenchurch also face south, though one might then wonder why Stepney, Blackmore Vale and 1618 face north, nor why Captain Baxter faces south! My personal preference is that I think...

    Presumably 80151 faces south because when it arrived 80064 already faced north. Now that 64 has left presumably it could be turned to match everything else, but it doesn't sound like something you'd do just for the sake of it.

    OK, I did it, I found the model in the description of the video (need to scroll down), used the template, and added a few extra comments. Sent the letter as an attachment to an email. When the GWSR bought the line shortly after closure and...

    Mark 1 99318 may haave been fitted with CDL - see the box near the number. It has had its buffet section replaced by seating bays with windows. https://andrewstransport.smugmug.com/WestCoastRailwaysWCRC/Carnforth-Steamtown-2026/i-J4bskhz Andrew N

    Thank you ! It's been quite difficult to keep this under wraps for the past few months, but I'm sure you'll agree that it's been worth the wait ! We wanted to avoid dribs and drabs of poor quality images in various stages of sanding down,...

    Nearly 6 weeks later, 9351 has broken cover in lined BR black. Which I had sort of assumed was the loco being refered to but didn't want to push further. Looks quite smart.

    I can't imagine that the event going on around the trains vastly changes the way in which they operate?

    As a former volunteer guard, I can't say I'd be thrilled with having to work with a seat reservation system. Turn-up-and-go worked absolutely fine.

    Ok, thanks for clarification. Still not great for those who do want to turn up and go - or have a flexible itinerary

  11. silversteellady liked acorb's post in the thread SVR Loco Newsy News / discussions.

    Whilst I get the gist of your comment, it would be poor of me not to mention the amount of effort that has gone into the repaint. According to SVR News not one transfer has been used, Ronan O'brien has hand painted every single letter. Personally...

    Meanwhile, in the North Bay at Scarborough a banner invites people to meet 37264. Sadly the people responsible for this are unable to spell the fuel it runs on... How many marketing Professionals does it take to spellcheck 9 words? [ATTACH]

  13. silversteellady liked 47406's post in the thread Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway General Discussion.

    The reason for the harshness stems from the way the railway has been operated since 2020. We used to visit 3/4 per year 2007-2019, were members of the society with many friends there. Up and down many times on each visit, swapping trains to get...
