    After checking on RTT I decided that I would go out to watch "the return of the king". Assuming that 6024 "kept time" over the S&C it should pass Ramsgreave and Wilpshire a little after 8pm - Mrs W said that I could stay up late even though it...

    Ready to be tested. it’s been ok for the last month or so but it’s had a partially build diesel shed in front of it last month! Should be good to go out on the line in a few weeks all being well.

    Eastern Rail Services stock I believe. I am guessing an issue with Rail Adventure's new steam charter license, real shame.

    Somewhere on the climb to Grayrigg or Shap was the place to be, but sadly Oswald is no longer suited to driving to such vantage points then hanging about in the cold - alright not too cold today. Oswald needed a plan and this was it, drive to...

  11. silversteellady liked Deepgreen's post in the thread RTC 2026.

    Terrible to hear. I imagine the horror for the crew is marginally lessened by the distance from the victim compared to a diesel loco, but hugely traumatising nevertheless. I can't help wondering whether it was a suicide or a trespasser. My...

    Its horrific and hope all involved are getting the support they need/deserve. Such things are becoming depressingly common on the railway at the moment and I suppose by the law of averages it was inevitable that a steam locomotive would be...

    This has been out of action for a while having new superheater flue tubes made and fitted along with some other work. That is now complete and the locomotive is back in steam now.[ATTACH] [ATTACH]

    The frames went back on the wheels earlier this year and work is on-going to assemble the motion. The boilerwork is still to be done.
