silversteellady liked acorb's post in the thread G&WR Autumn Mixed Traffic Gala 10-11 October 2026.
I thoroughly enjoyed my visit on Saturday. I primarily came across to reunite myself with 45110 which I last saw in steam nearly 20 years ago, but enjoyed a run behind 6880 and the 20s too. Fantastic to see the progress at Broadway and the sheds...

45690 and 44767 both under overhaul. I think Leander is likely to be back in 2028.

Very enjoyable first proper visit to the railway today. Blue Circle running up and down in the loco yard was a nice surprise, I think it was doing footplate rides, haven't seen it since the Bluebell's 50th Anniversary Gala in 2010. The railway...

silversteellady liked Wagoniester's post in the thread Nene Valley Railway.

All 3 Kings now ticked off for me and finally some proper mileage behind one (I've only done a few trips behind 6023 at Didcot and 6000 hasn't steamed in my lifetime). On my way back home now and here's a couple of pictures from my phone taken...
