If we stick to that rule it really limits the chances of those who were actually present at the original event getting to celebrate it again this side of the mystic veil!

silversteellady liked Dan Hill's post in the thread LSL Ltd / Icons of Steam fleet.
The information I posted about 4464 was part of a piece on both of LSL's Merchant's, following the news about 35025. Unfortunately LSL say there are no plans for either locomotive, and that the focus is on 4464, with 45231 and 46100 being...

One that I don't think was on our radar. RSH 7597 Zebedee has returned to steam at the Lincolnshire Wolds Railway and is now also carrying the name Maggie.

The latest issue of Trackside has a report that suggests 45110 could be heading back to it's old home, the Severn Valley Railway to help out with their Winter/Christmas services as they are currently short of suitable motive power (Class 4 and...

I was lucky enough to work alongside jjp in his early days of owning 4936 and then also when the collection ‘grew’ somewhat. Jonny had the spirit of the early preservationists and wanted to save everything. His heart sometimes ruled his head and...

As someone the same age as JJP and with a teenage daughter, something like this really hits home. An utter tragedy, I really hope people appreciate the huge contribution he made to the WSR and I hope somehow, that his young family are able, in...

Simply tragic, no other words for it. No one deserves this, at such a young age, to leave so much behind. RIP.

Yes I’d heard he was taken into hospital a few weeks ago and they had sadly discovered a lump in his bladder and someone I know at the WSR said they had seen him a week or so before and looked really poorly then too. It’s such sad news to hear...

It turns out he was quite young; approximately, not quite 40, from what I can gather. That will be hard on the daughters, sadly. Noel

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...
