Although this year it seems it would have made no difference anyway,but I have often wondered why the Swanage Belle was also not earmarked for the...
I am not sure it as that unique with just rail regulators. In much of my working life buying aircraft seats and we had a similar mismash of...
Shunt release often happens when a railtour visits due to the length of the tour stock. My observations show it is a guaranteed way to ensure your...
Not from the recent report by @TheModster of a recent Garden of England tour, or from a report of a Saphos trip up north somewhere in which is was...
I agree the trackbed profile fits Ponderosa but with less vegetation (I assume it has grown up since), I would have thought you may see something...
Well 6 coaches runs with two locos now, so today it is an issue of how many you want to put in steam I guess for only two trains a day. I imagine...
Do you mean where the sidings are now as is that not a gradual curve all the way from HX to Afflington and this appears to be more of an "S Bend"....
Nice "RHS Garden" between those tracks at Torre I see.:(
Not a great image but I tend to agree with you, it would certainly put the end of the loop very close to the box and would need some fair...
Other than working for Belmond where would any Mk 1 stock come from these days for DBC operated tours? Is it not all owned by WCRC, LSL or Vintage...
I thought it was needed at this time of the year to power the air con in the coffins.
Thanks Pete, I thought the tours locos normally got turned, or at least did when I did a few trips.
Of course this year may be the wrong year to have the six coach debate due to the constraints of the Wareham service both in path use (and hence...
Maybe but as it is only two afternoon trains I assume most of those are on the way back to Swanage. The day trippers will still have steam out of...
People wandering about and the camera now reads 15:27. Not sure what time the tour is due to leave Minehead.
Is there some issue this afternoon? There is a train sat at Blue Anchor which I assume should have left at 14:09 (now 14:57) and both Minehead...
Find little to disagree with in your logic, which in 2023 I suspect applies to every HR to a lesser or greater extent. It may need a redrawing of...
You will have to explain to me how that would work in practice. I do not know for sure but I assume WCRC on this route are an OAO in much the same...
Not really true Don, they are not "ignoring CDL" in the same way that say Vintage or Belmond are not.ignoring CDL" They all have derogation's for...
Well in the image I posted the U was producing a fair amount of steam, but sounded little if anything in the way of power when it went past me.. I...
