Boscastle's boiler has returned to the GCR! [ATTACH]
A technical question for the knowing collective on here. There has been an "interesting" chat about Bulleid Pacific casing fires. Many writers,...
We also had our new display panels on show for the first time on Loughborough Platform over the 1940's weekend.[ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]...
There is more detail, and background, to this on the GCR(N) thread in the Heritage Railways section.
