Ian doesn't seem to be having much luck with tender hot boxes as that was 5212's achiles heel at the end

silversteellady liked acorb's post in the thread SVR Spring Diesel Festival 14th-17th May 2026.

I think thats OTT and also spoils it for the rest of us. I also dispute that it is getting worse and it is not limited to the just the SVR. We are talking about a small group of individuals who tour a number of railway galas, the idiots I viewed...

Personally I think ID the individuals and ban them. Once a few have been banned the word would soon get around. What we don't want is knee jerk reactions leading to complete banning of standing at windows like we have seen on the mainline. This...

silversteellady liked James Hewett's post in the thread FR & WHR & WHHR News.

Very good news. I get the feeling that many of the public like a loco with a recognisable "front end". Rode behind it (albeit double-headed) at last year's midsummer gala. Judging by the way it's facing, I assume it will be found mostly on...
