Don't know. As you say there are steam engines allocated but perhaps the DMU needs to make a movement for some other reason.
I don't think so. There are always people who chance their luck at that crossing. There is a 5mph speed limit which is strictly observed. I think...
Yes this is an encouraging step in recreating the cattle dock. Hopefully re-instatement of the railings and perhaps even a cattle wagon will...
There is a good point hiding in here. The availability of decent hot drinks and possibly food will form a big part of the opinion people take...
Fascinating thread, I can only comment from the firing side but to pick up a few points from my meagre 150 firing turns of experience on the WSR:...
Your thought might be better addressed to charter operators. I suspect that the reason it works the way it does is to do with catchment areas for...
Some interesting comments over the last 2 pages showing both ends of the enthusiast spectrum. Clearly some people would love to see it all being...
Some water did indeed get into the axle box. Shame about the leak.
BL shed should have a very Midland feel next week for those who like such things.

No need to wait Tony, e-mail Mel Hillman here volunteers@wsrail.net and he'll get the ball rolling for you. Or if you know what you fancy...
I completely agree with you. That's why it's essential that the work is done to understand the visitor needs and indeed the demographic of our...
I used the water supply at Williton on 2nd Jan this year. The system is not quick to use as it's not used regularly. As regards priority of water...
You must come on the footplate sometime and observe the actual water consumption of 4160 with 7 on over the 20 miles from BL to MD. (Hoping that...
The last time I fired a pannier (6412) I took all the hair off of the back of my left hand (even with gloves on)! It was great fun (I've heard...
(1) Because I've looked in 4160's tanks after doing 20 miles and felt a little worried. (2) Because if you look hard you can still see where tank...
Not disagreeing with you, I'd never argue with a driver, but your line is a little shorter and a little less bumpy than ours. If you notice I...
