    Does anyone know if the railway has started to send out the e-tickets for the Wightwick Hall event yet? We are booked on the afternoon trip on Tuesday next week but I haven't received an email yet with the tickets. I booked back in August and...

    Delayed by a late running SWR Southampton Bournemouth all stations FS arrival also meant the T3 was delayed on the 14:00 service. As usual the loco seemed to gather a crowd bot on the platform and in Gilbert Road. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]

    If - and it must be a big IF - what I've heard is correct, tomorrow is going to be an all steam service for what I think is the first time this year. Even the 09.20 ex Pickering is to be stea mall the way through to Whitby. 29, 926, 2253 and...

    I did an even rougher calculation (with some probably questionable figures which Google AI gave) - taking the thermal efficiency of a steam locomotive as around 6-7%, and the overall thermal efficiency of an early diesel-electric loco of around...

    Fag packet calculation. From the NYMR annual accounts, in 2025 they burnt 1,082 tons of coal to run 24,831 steam miles - an average consumption of 97lbs / mile. (That includes everything - all lighting up, steam tests etc - so obviously depends...

    My wife and I had a trip down to Gloucestershire over the weekend to celebrate our grandaughter's birthday on Saturday. Our son decided it would be nice to take the two of us for a trip to Didcot Railway Centre while the little one went to...

    I would say Scostman is being operated to get it into the normal domain as much as possible, and doing what it is good at. The shorter trips, allowing 2 sets of customers a day, seems to be succesful. In this scenario, she is being operated well,...

    Now that seems better than an A4. Nice headboard and correct discs for a boat train as well. I will just grab my coat and run:) [ATTACH]

    Reading that, I had an intense urge to bang my head on something very hard. Is the unofficial motto of the NYMR now 'Never use a volunteer when you can hire someone?' (I wonder if the fact that paid employees are probably somewhat less likely to...

    I suspect its unlikely to be made public but I'd love to see a proper review on this. Omaha's conversion was always going to include a lot of learning but the projections for miles to the gallon wouldn't have been totally unknown as S160's were...

    Leaking crown stays in the firebox, so I'm informed. Unlikely now to see any service this visit as repairs unlikely before Wednesday at the earliest. I paid a visit to the Railway today which didn't go exactly as I'd hoped it would. I should...
