Thinking on it, I don't think I've missed a Giants of Steam event since my first one in 2002 when 34027 Taw Valley was the visitor (but had failed on the day I visited). Also having had a look, my runs behind 71000 were almost exactly 20 years...

Delayed by a late running SWR Southampton Bournemouth all stations FS arrival also meant the T3 was delayed on the 14:00 service. As usual the loco seemed to gather a crowd bot on the platform and in Gilbert Road. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]

I know Rail Adventure were advertising for steam drivers, but maybe they do not have any yet, or their licence may not yet include steam. No idea but I guess there is a good reason.

Yes, Camelot has a different whistle fitted for the ghost trains. I believe it’s been borrowed from somebody on staff and it’s from an Australian loco. It sounds quite special! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

[ATTACH] The North London Tank with FO 3068, posed in Horsted Keynes station. This is planned to be part of the SteamLights displays for 2026, and I believe it will be positioned in the Down Yard. Picture from Bluebell Railway Facebook.

silversteellady liked neildimmer's post in the thread Day out on the NYMR (Sadly not behind 60007) Tuesday 20th October 2026.
I went for a day out yesterday Tuesday 20th October mainly for a trip behind 60007 Sir Nigel Gresley, sadly it failed its FTR exam on Monday with crown stay problems, so 926 Repton deputised on the specials the 60007 would have run (so £30 spent...

We had an excellent day out at the railway on Friday, which was my first visit to the ELR in over 20 years. It is a very friendly railway with plenty to see and do (to the extent that we didn't manage to fit everything in). Bury on a gala day is...

Some belated footage from Friday's antics. Seemed to get very lucky with the light for most of the day, and could not have asked for better conditions for the Pannier's freight runs first thing Friday morning: A really nice set to see 7714...

Afew pix from Friday and Saturday. With Rammy sidings a no go area (breakdown crane, wagon storage and security agaents) I spent Saturday at Rawtenstall station and probably saw a lot more trains. I just wish stations during galas could be made...
