Chattenden was considered more useful than Upnor Castle at Welshpool, and once it became available from the Admiralty Upnor Castle was sold to the Ffestiniog so they could afford to buy it.

Yes Fred they are Rail Adventure owned and both look a disgrace, the most scruffiest locos on the network!!

silversteellady liked GWR4707's post in the thread LE movements, ECS and test runs 2026.
Considering its probably the most high profile, and thus possibly the best opportunity for PR that Rail Adventure have had in the UK mainstream it did seem peculiar that they put something looking so grotty on the move considering they do have...

GWR4707 is correct in that 9629's boiler was obtained as a spare for 3650 when 9629 was cosmetically restored and plinthed outside the Cardiff Holiday Inn. The Dean Goods boiler was originally bought by the KWVR (no idea where from tho') as a...

silversteellady liked Chris86's post in the thread K&WVR Steam Gala 19-22 March 2026.
Good day at the KWVR today despite some late running. Much busier than I had expected, was a struggle to find seats on the Nunney Castle/Braunton double header. Best run of the day was our final run with 45407 and 78022, some lively...

It wouldn't be a KWVR gala without a bit of late running! We avoided the Nunney/Braunton double header but based on my view of it as we slid past at Damems it looked to be the most heavily loaded train of the day by a comfortable margin. We found...

silversteellady liked 60044's post in the thread Current and Proposed New-Builds.
So it is the spare boiler from 3650 that is the basis for this replica? I just hope that, if the loco does get built, it will end up somewhere that can make good, sensible use of it on appropriately sized trains- SDR, Dean Forest or Gwilli,...
