    Sad announcement on FB, "Open Day on 26th October 2026 will be the last for the Gartell Light Railway." "We do intend to keep things operational for a while for special events, just to keep the railway alive a little longer, without the...

    4150 sounds fantastic. Hard to beat a prairie on the valley.

    I do wish them well with Derek and the 'new' F class. Though I would one day love to see No 101A steam again. Its now over 20 years since that engine moved under its own steam. I don't know what the appetite there is for another big engine after...

    So the overhaul plan of locos is flexible, but as it stands 101 is still being looked at as the next big engine to go in - however if benefactor was to come along and propose all the money to fund something else then that could change...

    Again, not wishing to be negative here but the NVR is still asking for money for its "resilience fund". Is the ESPS going to be a self-financing operation? Because you do need a railway to run engines on. I can certainly see the attraction of...

    I'm sure @Nathanjw032 will confirm, but the plan was for 101 to enter the works once 73050 is complete. It'll be a few years though, unless some mystery benefactor gives the railway loads of money.

    As a fan of small steam engines, I think the F class looks really cute. Two will be even better!

    That I recall was documented in a slim book about Blue Peter from the early 70s I recollect having, think maybe bought at Dinting Railway Centre. It was a history of the loco and information about the plans for it in preservation, including the...
