    A superb day at the Gala today, albeit me leaving after the 15.20 Eridge had left Groombridge behind 31803 (aka 31806). That was mainly because I was suffering from the heat. But I also plan a full day there tomorrow and need to have time to...

    D821 is the last announcement. The previous post on Facebook about the Class 46 stated that the next visiting loco announcement would be the final visiting loco:[ATTACH] Sent from my XQ-BT52 using Tapatalk

  7. green five liked MellishR's post in the thread Jacobite 2025.

    What they appear (from the outside) to be doing is burying their collective heads in the sand, waiting for a U-turn from ORR. That position is evidently doing some harm to the Jacobite's reputation. How long they can maintain it is uncertain.

    The last few posts (Matin’s excepted) have been pure fantasy obviously written by people who have never visited the WHL. The gradients and curves on the Mallaig road will knock the stuffing out of any engine in a season, a Schools is fine for...

    Wow, that is great for them and for the Bluebell. I imagine you were very disappointed not to be asked to go so you could fire your favourite loco out on the main line. ;) Bryan

    The Ardingly Branch. It may be remembered that some years ago, when training as a Bluebell guard, I produced the first draft of a map (‘White’s projection?’) which got the whole Railway on a single sheet of A4. That was in the days of the...

    Back on the mainline Sir Archie? Go for it! I timed this log some years back when on one of the the ten shillings and six pence Area 2 rovers, that covered Waterloo-Woking amongst other lines. Sid Burton was one of many genial drivers who...

    Well done indeed for capturing that. I wonder if it will be allowed up to near 60 mph, as shown on RTT. Is it a mixed Bluebell and main line steam driver crew I wonder? Bryan
