It steamed on a candle Peter, for sure, a fireman's dream. A joy on the other side of the footplate too, I passed out for driving on it in fact though my first rostered driving turn after that was actually on 45407, dressed as 45157, because the...

Here's a picture of the start of that day during the Sunday morning tea stop at Levisham. With the diner being out on the Saturday night we had to wait while Levisham box was switched in while taking the light engine through to Pickering. There...

42765 may waddle but it couldn't half steam:). I had a very memorable day on it on a three tripper firing to John Fletcher when it visited all those years ago. Looking at those big cylinders I thought that I might struggle to keep up with Fletch...

What I meant really Steve was that the Railway has acquired Black 5s, sometimes through benefaction. Clearly there are more 5s than 8fs and I don't think a complete ex BR 8f has ever actually come on the market. That said, there has been several...

The reason Black 5's are more popular than 8F's is probably quite simply because the Railway has always had them 'on the books' with 44767, 44806, 45212 & 45428 being long term residents over the years. 8F' have only ever visited for galas or...

I think @Steve has scientifically explained that a 4MTT is more or less optimal for NYMR services followed by tender engine equivalent, black 5s if you're trying to standardise a fleet. A long way from what Repton is .... In a WIBN fantasy world...

Unlike other micro states like Liechtenstein or San Marino, Luxembourg does have a preserved steam railway, namely at the 'Train 1900' in the southwestern corner of the country at Petange. The branch line from Petange to the industrial heritage...

Good start, hoping the TBAs turn out to be Haulwen and Rennes, completing the Mountain Ash set with 7754 and Llantarnum Abbey.

In the war my Father travelled over the Wolds to Bridlington behind a D49. He told me the train was 17 vehicles (not all bogie coaches). He told me that at some of the stations he wondered if they would ever get going again. Sent from my...

D49’s were indeed regular performers. The big difference was that the maximum load without assistance was five coaches and that included B1’s and Black 5’s. Most trains would be less than that.

Given good rail conditions, Repton will drag 7 up the hill to Goathland in both directions. However, any reduction in adhesive ratio becomes a problem. In theory, you need 13,538 lbf darawbar pull to drag 7 full coaches up the 1 in 49 and 6,648...

Absolutely stunning. I do hope there will be an opportunity to see it running with Caledonia before the latter goes out of ticket.

I think enough has been said about the weekend by now, we had three days of boiling in trains and generally enjoyed it all. I think it was over ambitious but had it come off everyone would have been full of praise for one of the best ever galas....
