It looks like the good ol' days are back:) Well, almost. Tomorrow, it's planned to be 100% steam between Pickering and Grosmont with only Pebbles making two round trips between Whitby and Grosmont to spoil things. 926, 2392 & 92134 are doing...

I’ve been involved in the heritage railway volunteering game for over 60 years and I learnt many years ago that the average volunteer will not step up to fill a vacancy. After all, why should you? Unless you have a particular desire to do so you...

We have a new complete "W" iron! However the main job on Wednesday was to prepare Rothley shed for the Beer Festival. There are two visitors as well, going to be on display. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]

Well Thankyou to you all for your kind comments. We’ve had a blast this weekend. The profits have been superb, but more importantly the good feeling, the good wishes, and the happy faces around the place has been great to see. This gala will go...

Had an excellent day at the SVR on Friday. I was amazed how good the timekeeping was all day, certainly not normal for a gala. I don't know whether the timetable has been tweaked to make it more resilient, or if it was just luck that nothing...

There really isn't a lot to do, bar fitting the electronics - which apparently has a date confirmed with the contractor according to the last YouTube update. Don't forget it went to Derby via rail last year, so it is already a known entity to...

Photos from my 2 day visit start with Friday, which turned out a very wet afternoon at Bridgnorth!!, excellent running all day i overheard a conversation at Bridgnorth between some footplate crew that 4150 is a very strong engine, far better than...

Another excellent day at the Severn Valley today - it always delivers the goods! All locos seemed to be behaving well and things were running pretty much to time most of the day. Highlight for me was seeing 46115 for the first time in many...
