It was only at the weekend that I heard about the plan to turn 80151 to face North. My assumption is that it's for a loco line-up (like last year's with the four new-builds, at the North end of Horsted Keynes) at Giants. Doing it when there's a...

silversteellady liked Gladiator 5076's post in the thread Swanage Railway | Spring Steam Gala | 27th-29th March 2026.
A few images from Saturday and two from Sunday (between trains). I thought it was a very well put together timetable, that ran basically to time, other than the last beer train, which I heard going out late both nights.[ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]...

This was my first mainline steam tour for 2 years and very enjoyable. VT's organisation was excellent, as was the friendly service from stewards. Tornado was superb. I was in the enthusiast coach behind the POB where I could hear the constant...

Thanks Julian, I’m afraid I don’t remember chatting at Appleby but my memory is not as good as it used to be. A pity we didn’t bump into each other at WBQ, I often wonder if there could be a way of recognising fellow NP members. Maisie survived...

I was very pleased when I heard the GCR 567 group had rescued what is by the look of it, an eminently restorable carriage. They have a credible, modest, plan to save it for the future, a track record, and a proper organisational structure. Many...

Can I just say what a truly fantastic weekend that was, big well done to the gala planning team for bringing it all together. Victor, the recreations, always something moving, a truly fantastic way to kick off the 50th year of our wonderful...

silversteellady liked Gladiator 5076's post in the thread Swanage Railway | Spring Steam Gala | 27th-29th March 2026.
Bearing in mind I thought I may get to be able to do very little or even none of the gala, I actually managed all 3 days (at times). Lack of energy these days and shortness of breath means I am restricted to places basically flat and near the...
