    Coal prices are falling at the moment, well down from their earlier peak. Tom

    I suspect it will be there (along with the 73) to act as an assurance policy for overly dry weather. Also I imagine the coal prices may or may not see more diesel action in regular service...

  3. UP13 liked The Green Howards's post in the thread 0-6-0 Class 08 Diesel.

    Here's a working you'll never see again. [ATTACH] I took this around 1979 or 1980: the 08 is on the Conington Tip trip working, an occasional thing you were lucky to see trundling along the ECML but then, there were a few more miles of four...

  5. UP13 liked kwrail's post in the thread Mid Hants Railway Operational Matters.

    Another excellent video from Will Stratford and the team at Watercress Line Productions. Link below. They are always a good watch. Definitely a cut above the majority of YouTube videos. The Lymington Branch A fireman’s story from the final...

  6. UP13 liked ruddingtonrsh56's post in the thread Watercress Line Spring Steam Gala: 25th - 27th April 2025.

    I would hardly suggest a line as short on motive power as the Mid Hants losing one of their resident locos for a prolonged period is anything other than on the bad side of things. Regardless of what locos you want to see at a gala, this has...

    I know it won't be on RTT for a while, but does anybody know roughly when Gordon is off to Swanage and what will be hauling her. Would be great if they did another live feed like they did with her trip to East Grinstead. Also I really enjoyed...

    Have just been browsing the wonderful wsr.org site and noticed some new photos added of BCK no.6705 - doesn't it look fabulous :D [ATTACH] (Pic by @SebWelsh) It's hoped to be in service for the Spring gala - I know that it's been fairly close...

  11. UP13 liked The Green Howards's post in the thread 0-6-0 Class 08 Diesel.

    I think every railway should have an 08 - if any locomotive deserved that seriously-overused word "iconic", it is the 08. Heavens, they were even sold to Victoria Railways! (Class F, if I recall correctly).
