Good to see progress towards Torpantau. A nice run already, but there's something about going to Torpantau by train again after 40 years!
Fair enough, and good luck with your venture. You are providing a spectacle that many will appreciate. The NRM does a great job and it has to be...
For those to whom photography is the be-all and end-all, it will be, and there is nothing wrong with that. I hope that there is a great take-up...
A bit of an unnecessary comment. People who pay to ride trains at a gala (often going to considerable expense with travel and accommodation) are...
Have only just had a new roof and solar panels to pay for, otherwise I'd be off like a shot to Kiwi land - nice mixture of British infrastructure...
The price of these special themed trains may be a bit exclusive. Better than total closure, but a complete about face from the original ethos of...
Yes, this is a must do for me. 2009 gala was superb; so much going on that I physically couldn't keep up with it! Easy to get to from southern...

Most fares these days are a rip-off. But what would a bus have cost for that journey - probably not much less. John
My favourite preserved line for the last 30 years! Unless the West Highland Extension to Mallaig closes and someone rescues it as a preserved...
Thanks for the reminder - looking to get my narrow gauge fix to break with the misery of winter, and raise my spirits, at this friendly railway. John
Thanks for sharing these. Those Austerities certainly gave some good smoke effects. Wish I was there! John
Looking forward to 61264 returning to regular traffic - she is just right for the NYMR. I have happy memories of her on West Highland duties; in...
Only second hand, but I have heard that the American owners of the Dartmoor Railway have issued instructions that no more trains are to be run...
I have enjoyed a splendid day out; well done. The S160 with its chime whistle was the highlight and hopefully today's problems will not affect...
That looks pretty reasonable to me! Heritage Railway has a decent article on the NYMR, as an introduction to what looks a candidate for Gala of...
Nice and authentic. Dates clash with wedding anniversary - shall look for romantic (preferably not too wildly expensive!) hotel in Swanage, and...
What livery is (6)1306 now in, please? John
Should be - sometimes I feel that events like this should have at least one day of reverting to just what was available when they started - 'the...
