Pleased to see Conqueror now free from the Surrey farm buildings. I had to climb over two locos to get to it when we were doing some filming there. Last time I saw it before Peter Rampton's place, it was slumbering in the open sidings at...

Hardly. As I lived in Mid Sussex as a youngster I can remember being bowled over by Stepney's eye catching "green" colour before young Tom was even born:eek:. It is probable that good taste is just synonymous with the name James;) Peter

The LBSCR Directors’ saloon was in use in the 1970s but not since. The LNWR Obo is routinely in use, it is just about the highest mileage vehicle on the railway. Last time I was there, over half term, there were 18 carriages in use on three...

A considerable amount of investment is going into this event, so please do book your tickets to join the party! It will most certainly be our biggest event post Covid. Well done on securing this particular loco to Bailey, Gala Planning Team Vice...

The 10% booking fee is included in the prices that I quoted (£21.45 for an adult & £24.75 for a child) and not additional. An adult Pickering -Levisham return is being advertised at £11.95 so that effectively means the Thomas event is seemingly...

If you go to book tickets it does say Pickering. The tickets are quoted as adult £21.45 and child £24.75, including a hefty 10% booking fee. As said elsewhere it will be a shuttle to New Bridge and back every 35 minutes. Tickets also include a...

Is the normal service suspended for Thomas? If not, the TT needs to show split colours on the calendar. Finally sorted the clash at Grosmont but couldn't the pink and blue timetables be harmonised so the earlier train arrived at Grosmont at...

Lets just enjoy this engine whether it be the mainline or preserved lines and maybe give the NRM a bit of credit for keeping her in steam. She's a wonderful loco and a great ambassador for steam and right now that's exactly what steam needs.

silversteellady liked Alex Productions's post in the thread Flying Scotsman.
The thing is Flying Scotsman is too popular with the general public to end up as just a museum piece. The amount of money it brings in for heritage lines is insane, love the loco or hate it having it run does help boost up the heritage sector...
