    It's the biggest weekend and half term of the year in Whitby. The railway is closed today and tomorrow. It's nuts.

  2. silversteellady liked Wagoniester's post in the thread Mid Hants Railway Operational Matters.

    I can't help but feel (personally speaking) that the half term week is the wrong time to do this style of one-trip-only operation. Most families will be looking for a day out rather than an hour or so. Part of me also wonders if the loco has...

  3. silversteellady liked 73108's post in the thread 2026 Entries/Returnees and Withdrawals.

    I have been following the progress of 4253 with interest for several years. It's a superb record of the almost unimaginable amount of time, resources, effort, money, successes and setbacks it takes to restore an ex-Barry hulk to working order....

    I believe the full tanker train is due to be in operation during the Last Hurrah Gala Nov 14/15th. An impressive sight!

    Well done to all the volunteers and staff for putting on a great gala in the conditions, with the rain on Saturday and strong winds on Sunday. I went on the trains on Saturday, I was able to change trains at Sheringham and in fact was ushered...

    Now hoped that USA tank DS237 will play some part in the gala.

  9. silversteellady liked David likes trains's post in the thread North Norfolk Railway General Discussion.

    I understand the agreement to display Black Prince at Bressingham is a good deal for both parties. Much better to have it there accessible to the public than stored somewhere at Weybourne, possibly outside if there isn't room under cover....

  10. silversteellady liked Hicks19862's post in the thread North Norfolk Railway General Discussion.

    A mention in latest Joint Line about a potential inspection of Black Prince for overhaul, with assessment of possible costs and viability. Could this be the first small steps on the long road in getting BP back into service? Or potentially see...

  11. silversteellady liked Ebbw Junction 1's post in the thread North Norfolk Railway General Discussion.

    This is what Mr W Pedia says about 92203: "Sidelined in December 2023 with leaks in the main internal steam pipe and withdrawn in March 2024. Currently on display at the Bressingham Steam Museum until space and the funds are available to overhaul...

  12. silversteellady liked Hicks19862's post in the thread North Norfolk Railway General Discussion.

    I believe the loan to Bressingham was ‘for two years initially’. I’d read that as meaning it would be there for longer. It will be an expensive undertaking to overhaul BP. Whether funds would be better spent elsewhere is open to debate.
