    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...

    I'm no expert on the detail but I think one of the Jacobite Guards worked that route on 'our' GB only last month. (another was onboard too)

    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...

    In another life before TV fame ! For no other reason than I took this almost 42 years ago to the day on 26/5/84 (some here may find that week/end familiar). 37025 approaching the last token exchange at Lentran before arriving at Inverness with a...

    Well thanks for making the train crew's life even more difficult than it already is. If for some unlikely reason the ORR have not already seen this they will have now and the Guard and Train Manager will be called to account for not policeing the...

    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...
