The things you randomly spot on the way back from church! Brocklebank’s boiler (I believe) with some suitable haulage going through Haywards Heath yesterday. Not quite sure what they were burning but it left a pleasant haze over the town centre...

A few years ago a traction engine (possibly this very one), did a trip around this part of Sussex as part of the High Weald Steam Show. I'm not sure if 35025's boiler returned to Selling after or it it was stored elsewhere and has now being moved...

silversteellady liked Kirk Oswald's post in the thread North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.
That's a shame as it's a very interesting vehicle, though I do wonder if it is suitable for the NYMR. Geographically speaking it's very much in keeping but visitors to the line mostly come to enjoy steam and expect it to be provided. It also...

To be honest I thought it wasn't due to run until the 15th anyway. Or maybe they have just issued so many timetables nobody knows what's supposed to be running anymore...

Presumably, that means the two yards will be "cut off" from each other again? Wondered if the points they've put in could remain to enable stock moves across the yards (obviously planned and agreed with NR).

I hadn't realised they'd connected the down yard as well, I thought it was only the up yard that got new pointwork to link up to the NR line.

I'm afraid the only part of a J39 still in existence is the tender last attached to 64961 sitting in the yard of Diamond Engineering in Sheffield ready to be rebuilt for use with the new build B17 Spirit of Sandringham.

Nice, but sounds like valve settings could do with a tweak?

Definitely sounds that way. The loco seemed to be struggling or certainly being handled very carefully and skilfully. 6046 always appears (to me) to be stronger than 5197. Vegetation seemed dry so possibly a conscious plan to prevent possible...

It’s a walkway not a platform. It’s now a requirement for new bridges to have one. We couldn’t afford a double track bridge like the original, nor would there be an operational need for one.
