    In fairness Watercress was one of the first to do Day out with Thomas events. They've taken years to gain a great reputation and never stopped doing it when most others stopped. Thomas events are a huge gamble in this day and age. But there's...

    Many years ago, the owner of “Bulgy the Bus” used to charge more per day than it cost to hire a Thomas! And the bus broke down regularly!

    The hire fee for Thomas would not make or break the event, it came about because of the number of days we used to run and the fact there was a reasonably ready hire market. It is perhaps one of the few locos that can earn its keep that way.

    The impression I have been given by someone who has been involved with Thomas events is that with the licensing etc. they are quite expensive to run, and the key to making them a success is to have plenty available to facilitate secondary spend...

    I had c.55 over the top at Grayrigg, and minimum 51 up Shap. A lovely noise! Leaves one to wonder about what 60532 might have done without the stop.

    I’m sure others will have more accurate, but I got 55mph at Grayrigg, 72mph at Tebay (max 74), 52/53mph Shap Summit (min 51)

    Thanks to a swift loco change at Crewe, ex-LNER A4 Class 4-6-2 No. 60007 Sir Nigel Gresley was almost right time as it approached Hartford station with Saphos Trains Cumbrian Mountaineer charter on Wednesday 11th March 2026. [ATTACH] Cheers,

    My thoughts on the the decision to launch a new Day out with Thomas event are...it's an interesting one. It could be said it's bravely aiming at a new family market, or it could be argued a more desperate move to widen their target audience, to...

    Feeling very lousy today and certainly with no energy to walk anywhere, so here is your 10:30 run coming back through HX in not the greatest light. For anyone on it, the second image (taken on my way back from the dentist which I had to drive to...

    Well weren’t you the lucky one. My dad had no interest what so ever. However, in fairness, ever fortnight he ran me 60 miles up to Haworth on a Friday for the weekend and picked me back up on the Sunday, for two years until I was 17 and passed my...
