silversteellady liked 60044's post in the thread North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.
The NYMR is, and always has been, a wonderful railway but it needs restoring back to the wonderful heritage railway it had become, and then some building up beyond to take it to the next level - but that requires a management team that...

silversteellady liked Chris_Sav's post in the thread Nice Day Out On RHDR.
Wife's birthday this week and nothing I fancied steam hauled dining so treated ourselves to best we could manage on RHDR. Should have happened Tuesday but RHDR had leaves on the lines issues, trouble is they were still attached to a rather large...

silversteellady liked mdewell's post in the thread Back Of The Shed.
That Facebook page is part of a private group (presumably you have to be a GWS member to access it) so I won't attempt to link it from here. However, if I may summarise. . . A superheater flue collapsed whilst 6697 was propelling an empty train...

silversteellady liked Cuckoo Line's post in the thread Avon Valley Railway Updates and Videos.
I believe the ESR model works because they link running the locos to contracted overhaul work and some of the borrowed locos seem to have cleverly built into the equation a significant time for running in !!! Plus the Ivatt is on a long term care...

I must mention the East Somerset Railway where the loco was restored. 41313 double-headed with visiting loco 41312 at the railway's steam gala. A third Ivatt, no.46447 was also in service that day. [BJ]

silversteellady liked John Petley's post in the thread Mid-Hants Railway | Autumn Steam Gala | 2nd-4th October 2026.
Agree 100% - 41313 will be a popular visitor. Having already crossed the Solent on different occasions to visit the Bluebell, Spa Valley and Swanage railways, perhaps this loco ought to qualify for a "frequent traveller" concessionary rate with...

Sorry if this is already been covered, but I’ve just noticed that at least one of the posters for the Thomas event appears to be AI generated. When you have 57 marketing staff on your payroll I’d expect them to do a bit more than typing a prompt...
