Back to my point about red, black and other fire risk levels being inconsistent and often not reflecting realities on the ground. I can't understand why most of England and parts of Scotland have not been under a steam ban in recent days...

I was on the K1 in May 2008 taking the Jacobite stock to Fort William. As was ascended Beattock we found the lineside ablaze. No doubt we would have been blamed for it but for the evidence that it was alight before we got there.[ATTACH] Peter

A couple of points to consider here. One is the this is hearsay based on an apparently unauthorised leak of an internal Network Rail Control Log. The other point is that the Control Log is based on assessment at the time and these assessments do...

The loco ran over the S&D frequently too :).

It is also the S&D passenger headcode - the driver is a bit of a fan of that famous line. Peter

I find it quite amazing to think that in the 59th Anniversary week of the End of Southern Steam there are no less than four Bullied Pacifics at large on the national network at present. We had 35028 out yesterday, 34046 today with 34028 and 34067...

RFAs were still running on what the MOD called "FFO" (Furnace Fuel Oil) in the 1980s - we bunkered several of them, including motorships, in the Falklands up until 1986 from the ship I was serving in, m.v."Scottish Eagle", and probably for...

A contrast to 59 years ago when, almost unnoticed, there were three Weymouth - Westbury steam hauled perishable freights over the line. If I remember correctly two were Standard 5s and the third a West Country. All three locos returned light to...

At present 2253 is burning diesel fuel at some considerable expense. Word on the railway is that it uses four times more diesel for a run to Pickering and back than a Class 37 on the same job. But that may be just mess room gossip:(. Peter

Locos are not normally coaled at Pickering. If a loco overnights there it is coaled back at Grosmont during a layover next day. Peter

Crikey! All I said was that it seemed to be a long way from Strawberry Hill to Alton! ;) Tom

I suggest that you wait to see how this is handled. Last Thursday the afternoon train was a diesel so that 44871 could be stopped for repair. The evening before all passengers booked on it (the advantage of an on line booking system) were...
