silversteellady liked Spamcan81's post in the thread A day out in the Cotswolds.
A cracking day out in the Cotswolds with a couple of classic vehicles. An ex-Southdown Leyland Titan PD2 and a Rolls Royce 20/25. Very fond memories of the Southdown Titans as I would travel on them in and around Chichester during childhood...

silversteellady liked 5944's post in the thread 6024 King Edward 1.
I understand they were initially requested on 5029 from the loco crews after they were concerned about the risk of falling out when in motion. There's nowhere to stand on the front of a GWR tender, unlike others where you can tuck yourself into a...

silversteellady liked 2857Harry's post in the thread 6024 King Edward 1.
Not at the moment but that doesn’t mean to say they won’t. And frankly good on LSL for stepping up and doing it. The ORR are heavily focussed on working at height and falls from height, and I don’t suspect it would be viewed kindly if a person or...

silversteellady liked Old Wusser and Wusser's post in the thread Strathspey Railway.
Scoping excercise really means we'll wonder over, have a look at it, spend lunchtime in a pub, then quietly forget about it, citing "logistical issues".

silversteellady liked northernsteam's post in the thread BR Standard class 6 No. 72010 'Hengist' and Clan Discussion Thread.
Another 'wheely' big step forward this week! Hengist will be rolling before much longer. Well done to all involved, and I mean ALL. You all know the link by now, surely.

silversteellady liked Daddsie71b's post in the thread Swanage Railway Diesel Gala 08 - 10 May 2026.
I'm a nostalgic diesel fan, late 50's and sixties. This is certainly a coup for the organisers. These loco's have only recently passed their acceptance trails and have never hauled passengers in this country. Well done them.

silversteellady liked free2grice's post in the thread 46447 Overhaul.

Well, it's a politician on an election tour - and he's only promising "a 'scoping exercise' which would examine the feasibility of reconnecting the rail line", at that. Noel

silversteellady liked Britfoamer's post in the thread WSR Spring Steam Gala 1-4 May 2026.
Even though the weather was dreary at times didn't stop us enjoying ourselves. Three days of rovers and half day on Monday at Minehead before we had to leave for the 5 hour trip back north. Time keeping left a little to be desired, but not a...
