A nice crisp note from the Black 5. But isn't Wilmcote just over the top of a 1 in 75 out of Stratford? Vintage Trains always allows their Castles...
...and that comment makes us realise how tight the clearances are for steam on parts of the main line. To have two 'identical' locomotives with...
There is an interesting piece in Don Benn's book - The Twilight of Southern Steam - about a run up from Southampton in April 1965 with 35012 on...
Just read that comment. I realise you are not saying that this is your view but such a comment, implied or not by anyone strikes me as something...
Sorry to say the obvious but it's good to see Tornado back on the main line again. The charter market needs a big loco so it's a welcome return.
Exactly who said that the A1ST was told to paint Tornado according to what David Smith wants? And while we are at it, exactly who said that...
It depends on whether electricity is needed for the rolling stock, doesn't it? Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose.
So one and a half Class 7s plus a Class 8 to haul all the heavy air brake trains for WCRC and the RTC. That's quite a workload so they will be busy.
It's not Clan Line. Whatever it is, it returns from Peterborough twenty minutes after it arrives.
I love the fact that under the whistle is a plate to catch the hot drips of water from the valve and divert these off the side of the loco onto...
I view Tornado in the same way that I view WCR locos. I have contributed to the overhaul/building of neither other than spending quite a lot to...
When you have nothing good to say then it is better to be quiet, isn't it? Look at West Coast, for example. That's not a criticism just a fact...
I know that everyone will be delighted if and when Tornado is back in full operation but isn't it interesting how quickly this 2009 new build has...
I'm really not the person to comment on engineering detail but I'll have a go. From my reading of the class from when they were at 280 lb psi to...
The Belmond site suggests that 35028 will be out tomorrow on another Kent circuit. Assuming that all goes to plan and nothing else changes will...
But that opening whistle is a cut and paste sound not related to the Belle. Just saying. Nice none the less.
Mr Giesl would have said that wouldn't he?
Any timings yet for the Stratford trip on Sat?
Meanwhile in a land far away you can capture this daily life on a high speed route![ATTACH]
A nice video with yet another sound effect from Tangmere. But at least it's working the trains and we should be grateful for that.
