Seconding John's question, this week took some unexpected turns family-wise so I haven't been able to get over to Paignton but still super-keen to...
Ah great, thanks for the info. Will definitely be there a couple of times in the half-term week then.
Any idea of the likely dates for 5197's trip to Paignton yet? It's something I've been hugely looking forward to since it was first mooted - I...
I totally understand your point and generally agree, but I can promise you I was following pretty much every train movement on the tour's route...
I had to travel from south west London home to Exeter yesterday so deliberately did it at a pace that coincided with 70013's journey west, which...
Not sure I've found a West Somerset gala dull in a long while (maybe the 1992 autumn diesel gala, as back then I was too young to realise that the...
Thanks Ian, that's much appreciated. Heading up to Lydeard shortly so I'll hopefully see that before the service trains start.
Popping up to the WSR tomorrow as (and hopefully this is still the plan) the Cl.33 is covering the DMU turn. Haven't had Foxcote Manor on its...
Sad to have missed the Manor but the Norwegian is my favourite of the KESR's resident steam engines and as booked passenger turns for the Cl.14...
The Bluebell got a bit squeezed in my plans for this weekend once Chinnor came up with an amazing diesel gala, the Romney announced its...
I can't make the gala (GWR gala, World Rallycross and Manor + Cl.14 at the KESR are too tempting for that bank holiday weekend) but Newington's...
I think that's my first visit to the CVR sorted. Massive fan of Manors up any gradient, so this should be exceptional.
Agree with all the positive comments above. I wrote after the WSR gala that I'd been converted to the 7F after unfairly neglecting it for years so...
In the Romney gala thread on the WNXX forum, member '01732michael' is being great for offering RHDR information, including that it's normal fares...
I can imagine! I think I've been guilty of under-rating the 7F because I'm too obsessed with Halls and Manors so I haven't made a point of seeking...
Great day at the WSR yesterday. Finally had some decent mileage with 1501 after always missing it at the SVR and only being able to nip out...
In answer to the person above asking if the S160 was a draw, for me it emphatically is. Not an attractive machine but an incredible one. It's the...
I'm assuming they're all smokebox first except where it's indicated that they're not, as on the day I'm going there are a couple of notes on the...
I'll pay for the roster at the WSR and not begrudge it as such for all the reasons above, but it does seem a bit of an aberration now in still...
I agree, if I'm travelling a long distance to somewhere I'd certainly try to get multiple lines in while I'm in that location so overlapping galas...
