silversteellady liked lil Bear's post in the thread Churnet Valley Railway General Discussion.
The “new” section to Leek is only utilised for Borders Explorer days in 2026. Until we upgrade the overall infrastructure we are restricted with operating practices, but also we are still waiting for the Barnfield redevelopment to catch up with...

[MEDIA] My video from yesterday. I was very impressed with how well maintained the lineside was, I'm sure Network Rail can only dream of such standards.

Pete, we were extremely lucky. I was on Manston yesterday and the first spots of rain came at 16.30 and then only a steady light rain by 17.30 when I left so we did well to miss the worst. Enjoyable day on the light pacific, nice to get onto a...

silversteellady liked meeee's post in the thread FR & WHR & WHHR News.
The NWNGR was air braked however this equipment seems to be increasingly removed during the WHR era. The Festiniog was vacuum braked and of course the preservationists inherited a lot of vacuum braked stock. When what is now the WHHR started...

The preferred method of operating steam locos is smokebox facing south. However, locos are occasionally turned to even out tyre wear. Despite all the doom and gloom the railway is a wonderful line when things are going to plan and well worth a...

silversteellady liked 60044's post in the thread North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.
The NYMR is, and always has been, a wonderful railway but it needs restoring back to the wonderful heritage railway it had become, and then some building up beyond to take it to the next level - but that requires a management team that...

silversteellady liked Chris_Sav's post in the thread Nice Day Out On RHDR.
Wife's birthday this week and nothing I fancied steam hauled dining so treated ourselves to best we could manage on RHDR. Should have happened Tuesday but RHDR had leaves on the lines issues, trouble is they were still attached to a rather large...

silversteellady liked mdewell's post in the thread Back Of The Shed.
That Facebook page is part of a private group (presumably you have to be a GWS member to access it) so I won't attempt to link it from here. However, if I may summarise. . . A superheater flue collapsed whilst 6697 was propelling an empty train...
