  1. silversteellady liked 3ABescot's post in the thread Embsay and Bolton Abbey Railway Updates.

    Much like my experiences, except that the staff were polite and friendly in their manner, but had nothing acceptable to offer us. From other posts they seem dominated by pre-booked coach trip and buffet car bookings so turn up on the day visitors...

  2. silversteellady liked jasa76's post in the thread Embsay and Bolton Abbey Railway Updates.

    I called in today as I was passing by and haven't visited for a while. I'd parked at Embsay and was quite suprised that the car park wasn't that busy compared to previous visits so should have been an early warning sign. I'd tried looking at the...

  3. silversteellady liked Rander's post in the thread Southall Toad 68766.

    I believe it's to be the support vehicle for the 0-6-0ST Lindsay, which has previously been at Southall but is now elsewhere under overhaul. USA Tank 30064, under the same ownership, is also at Southall.

    Didn't go up the yard yesterday, due to the need to stare at the back of my eyelids for as long as possible! Normal service should be resumed next week...... In the meantime, a few more from the Nikon shoots & running day....

  7. silversteellady liked acorb's post in the thread SVR Spring Steam Gala 16-19 April 2026.

    Latest SVR news states it became obvious early in the new year that 4150 won't be ready for the Spring Gala (despite a big push) and they are now targeting early summer. On a selfish note 4110 from the East Somerset would make a nice replacement...

    It is a massive shame, especially with both locos having worked just down the road in Chepstow.

    That’s a lot of money for a four coupled loco, if true.

  10. silversteellady liked alexl102's post in the thread Dean Forest Railway.

    A post on the DFR Facebook Page states that Willy the Well Tank and GER 229 have been withdrawn from the upcoming Small Engines gala. The rumour (which I have not been able to evidence) is that the owner had originally offered for them to be...

    Visited today with one main focus - Newington/32646/W8 Freshwater. (Do these locos hold the record for multiple identities?) Last saw Freshwater on a plinth outside a pub on Hayling Island so this was a long overdue coming together of man and...

    Saturday saw me and a mate make the long trek for our first ever Bluebell gala. We were very impressed. Great railway, friendly staff and a cracking selection of locos, with plenty of noise. Wonderful selection of rolling stock too. The gala ran...

    Here you are Al - my shot of W8. I was on Fenchurch. First time I've been to the end of Platform 1 at Horsted on an engine! [ATTACH] Before leaving, I checked the Running Foreman's notes for the day. We were apparently 25 minutes late off...
