[ATTACH] And I remember it as the first loco to work over the then recently reinstated link between Furzebrook and Norden to star at the Swanage...
Good to see that it's sold out. Members of this forum may have differing views on diesels on the back and "coffins", but I guess most of us who...
Actually, anyone who is a fan of S15s in pre-nationalisation liveries have done very well. Not only has 506 run in both olive green and Southern...
Good to have met you on Friday at the WH station site. I was the chap with the big ladder who stood behind everyone else.
Quite something, I agree. Interesting that 34059 worked the pullman. Bluebell Public train info has 80151 rostered for this. Is 34059 likely to...
One reason for the popularity of the Haystacks crossing and the area nearby is that most locos face Tenterden and as @paul1609 has pointed out, it...
If the IOWSR can be included in the definition of a short line, then I'd agree with you. I always enjoy my visits. Staff are friendly and...
...and 34059 - on 15th May 1966 according to one of my books.
Thanks for the heads up on this. Most appreciated Can't make today or tomorrow as I'm working but hopefully the same combination will be in action...
Colonel Stephens was involved with a number of ultimately abortive extensions to the K&ESR including a couple the Headcorn end, Northiam to Rye...

Thanks for the heads up on this. Well worth a drive to Folkestone Warren to see her. I hope @gricerdon enjoyed his trip, although it's hard to...
Thank you for providing a definitive answer on why the K&ESR doesn't publish a loco roster. I guess it's not the answer some of on here would...
The lack of loco roseter is also a bit frustrating, altough I appreciate that the railway has other priorities. Having said that, the K&ESR is the...
You did the right thing I thought I might try West St Leonards as the steam loco usually accelerates away from Bopeep Junction and it is uphill...
I recall it being 34067 in 2014: I managed to pick Endlewick Farm Crossing between Berwick and Polegate, and the only cloud in the whole sky...
I think that the Haywards Heath water stop was a fairly recent innovation. Certainly in the 2010s, this run was made without one (I've just...
Newt time you drive, come off the A40 at Burford and go via Stow-on-the-Wold to Toddington (A424/B4077) - the scenery is even more stunning and...
Your post is a timely reminder why this thread has recently gained a "new lease of life":- the decision to repaint Tornado in late BR livery was...
As mentioned, I spent the day at the railway yesterday. Steam services seemed to be loading fairly well, but not exactly packed. Plenty of room...
