    I braved public transport and the damp weather on Saturday to make a brief first visit for the gala. Not the intensity of activity you'd normally expect at such an event, but this friendly place has a genuine light railway feel (balcony end...

    I think the Renishaw Heisler would be top of my list to see on display, if only so I could pose this on its prototype! Possibly not the most practical loco for VoR services however….

    Just announced on the FB page that the N2 will be officially returning to service on 17th July. Good to have an ex-LNER locomotive back in operation. Hopefully to be joined by the B12 next year and the Y14 in the not too far off future.

    Another Collection X gem has appeared out in the open! It's the Borsig, "Sotillos", late of the Sabero Railway. In related news - and full disclosure - I have recently joined the Vale of Rheidol Railway company (part time, it's a 6 hour commute)...

    Could be! Never say never at the Rheidol. It does have similar power to our 2-6-2Ts - but frankly there isn't a need for it to be restored. There's already a lot of backup - including a hefty Garratt. There are two Collection X locos in the...

  9. silversteellady liked torgormaig's post in the thread VT : White Rose to York and Scarborough - 4/7/26 (revised).

    Inside cylinder GWR locos tend not to have clearance issues - the problem is with those with outside cylinders. On the S&DJR the inside cylinder locos (Pannier tanks and the likes of the 22xx 0-6-0s) were fine but not the outside cylindered tanks...

    I remember several years ago (30?) seeing City of Truro in an identical spot; there was plenty of clearance. I wonder if the "new slimmed-down" King will fit? :Nailbiting:
