    I went for a day out yesterday Tuesday 20th October mainly for a trip behind 60007 Sir Nigel Gresley, sadly it failed its FTR exam on Monday with crown stay problems, so 926 Repton deputised on the specials the 60007 would have run (so £30 spent...

    Like Karl and John, I was more than happy to return to the West Highlands for a bit of glorious sunshine on Sunday and Monday. No place is better than our Highlands in autumn colours: [ATTACH] No. 45407 at Craigag Wetlands - Sunday 18th...

    We had an excellent day out at the railway on Friday, which was my first visit to the ELR in over 20 years. It is a very friendly railway with plenty to see and do (to the extent that we didn't manage to fit everything in). Bury on a gala day is...

    Some belated footage from Friday's antics. Seemed to get very lucky with the light for most of the day, and could not have asked for better conditions for the Pannier's freight runs first thing Friday morning: A really nice set to see 7714...

    Afew pix from Friday and Saturday. With Rammy sidings a no go area (breakdown crane, wagon storage and security agaents) I spent Saturday at Rawtenstall station and probably saw a lot more trains. I just wish stations during galas could be made...

  8. silversteellady liked pmh_74's post in the thread Windcutter Wagons.

    Personally I'm happy enough for them to be preserved empty. If you want to see a loaded wagon in the heritage era, there are always ballast hoppers. You don't see preserved buses with 50 real or false passengers sitting inside them on display,...

    Thanks Musket and pmh! Re mdewell's idea Over the years we have considered many ideas for loaded wagons but a few considerations are, in fact, quite significant. 1 Load with coal - 16T at about £400/T costs £6400 per wagon and the coal...

  10. silversteellady liked Musket The Dog's post in the thread Windcutter Wagons.

    It's obviously a set of coal empties going North to Annesely, and some coming south back to the quarry at Swithland ;) A fantastic achievement for you and the group Phil. Along with the other freight groups, a real credit to the GCR and...

    I live in Toronto! We’re in the soft end of the country when it comes to snow. Go an hour any direction into a snowbelt and we get some winter fun! This was a couple of hours east of the city last November when a squall blew in: [ATTACH] I much...

    When I did it it took me about an 45 mins to an hour to get to a view of the wetlands and viaduct from memory but despite being younger than Ben I suspect he got a lot higher and faster than me! Anyway, here's another from Saturday. [ATTACH]

    Perhaps they could restore a few with raised floors. . . say about 6 in below the top rim! Just needs a thin covering with suitable lumps of rock to look like a fully loaded wagon. ;):D [ATTACH]
