So pleased to hear that you are to retain the swing out seats, so much a feature of colonial narrow gauge railways. One of the most surreal "footplate rides" I ever had was on a railtour in Pakistan in 1990. Sitting on said seat, swung out,...

Miff is entirely correct. I'm Maddie, I am currently responsible for looking after 120. It is most likely to steam next, although as you would imagine it is a slow process. 120 is in good condition with a recent works visit in South Africa...

Obviuosly not a loved one of yours who’d gone missing. The family of the missing gentleman would have wanted maximum effort expended in finding him and looks like the police delivered. And dementia sufferers can be a lot more than just “confused”.

I think that some of the traffic regulation issues have been touched on in the Artificial Intelligence thread. The data is only as good as the input. That depends upon training..... The automatic route setting systems, as I understand, only...

I was on the first train that day, aged nine. It was the only railway event that my dad ever took me to - and here is my ticket (actually my dad's in all probability) to prove it[ATTACH] A day I remember well Peter

It's the ORR - they have a real bee in their bonnet about anyone climbing on top of tenders among various other issues. Peter

I hope that yesterday afternoon I took water at Goathland for the last time. The crane at the down end has been a nightmare to use these last few weeks especially as it is so stiff to pull across to the tank and even worse to pull back as you end...

I don't think that 80135 has ever worked through from Whitby to Pickering, certainly not regularly. It only worked a handful of Whitby - Glaisdale shuttles in May 2003 and a Christmas shoppers special to Middlesborough in December of that year....
