The heavy overnight rain (hopefully meant no fire risk?! - but who knows) petered out by mid-morning and the afternoon became sunny. I was unable to watch the morning train head north on the WCML so watching the return was essential. The easy...

silversteellady liked Spamcan81's post in the thread V2 4771 Green Arrow to return?.

silversteellady liked WorkingPressure225's post in the thread Bluebell Railway General Discussion.
I did say it was going to be good :):) The only operational coaches not running at some point over the weekend (to my knowledge) are 4957, 16012, 25728, Car 54 and the Great Northern Saloon. I believe this will also be the first time RBR 1674...

Bluebell on Parade event details and timetable have been published. As theorised, Pullmans included with SR stock. I think nearly every available coach will be out during the weekend? Sunday cavalcade too - that was unexpected....

An excellent day and my thanks also to the Trustees and others for organising it. The star of the show: [ATTACH] Some of the components on display. As Neil said, the expansion links "look too good to go on a locomotive"! [ATTACH] [ATTACH]...

silversteellady liked 2857Harry's post in the thread Severn Valley Autumn Steam Gala - 17 to 20 Sept.
Really happy with this one and big thanks to the IoW for allowing it, and the MHR for sharing it with us. Makes the costs much smoother to swallow with multiple parties.

If you ask me, Tornado should stay in BR green and Scotsman should be repainted apple green, complete with single chimney...but that's just a personal view, of course. ;)

silversteellady liked Spamcan81's post in the thread Jacobite 2026.
Whilst I’m pleased that the Jacobite is now up to 2 trains a day so that more people can enjoy the ride, I won’t be rushing up there to photograph the dog’s dinner of a rake that’s forming the afternoon train.

silversteellady liked alexl102's post in the thread North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.

Give him a chance, he's got about 500 pages of catchup to do first! :) (And that's to say nothing of the WSR and L&B threads... :eek:)
