    Hey all, attached you will find two videos, which I made in May 2026. The first part is about the GCR Nottingham with visiting LNER 60103 "Flying Scotsman". The second part is about the Loughborough to Leceister North section which I visited on...

  5. silversteellady liked DcB's post in the thread Gartell Light Railway.

    Sad announcement on FB, "Open Day on 26th October 2026 will be the last for the Gartell Light Railway." "We do intend to keep things operational for a while for special events, just to keep the railway alive a little longer, without the...

    Couldn't make the morning so the resurrection of 8069 was missed. I spent the afternoon at Heywood, here's a handful stills. Rammy and Irwell Vale planned for tomorrow, riding Saturday, Bolton Street for Sunday. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]...

    4150 sounds fantastic. Hard to beat a prairie on the valley.

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

    I do wish them well with Derek and the 'new' F class. Though I would one day love to see No 101A steam again. Its now over 20 years since that engine moved under its own steam. I don't know what the appetite there is for another big engine after...

  9. silversteellady liked Nathanjw032's post in the thread Nene Valley Railway.

    So the overhaul plan of locos is flexible, but as it stands 101 is still being looked at as the next big engine to go in - however if benefactor was to come along and propose all the money to fund something else then that could change...

  10. silversteellady liked The Green Howards's post in the thread Nene Valley Railway.

    That's certainly my understanding. Although I'm a member of the NVR, I have to say I've not been there since 92 Squadron left...

  11. silversteellady liked The Green Howards's post in the thread Nene Valley Railway.

    Again, not wishing to be negative here but the NVR is still asking for money for its "resilience fund". Is the ESPS going to be a self-financing operation? Because you do need a railway to run engines on. I can certainly see the attraction of...

  12. silversteellady liked 5944's post in the thread Nene Valley Railway.

    I'm sure @Nathanjw032 will confirm, but the plan was for 101 to enter the works once 73050 is complete. It'll be a few years though, unless some mystery benefactor gives the railway loads of money.

    As a fan of small steam engines, I think the F class looks really cute. Two will be even better!
