Next spring? Can't do everything at the same time ;-)
IIRC, 777's gauging problem is not width over the cylinders as such but rather the "throw" at the front. It was explained to me that the cylinders...
We opened the Alton section in 1986, so it may have been longer ago than you think ;-)
I understand that this weekend's locos are 41312 (Alresford start) & No. 1 (Alton) and that the afternoon trains starting from Alton on Sunday...
Tricky decision, that. Some families will have been delighted to find Thomas unexpectedly working their train while the folks who'd paid serious...
But all completely authentic for the S&C tourist service c. 2020 ;-)
Probably 76017 & 41312 again, but keep an eye on the MHR website. They normally list the rostered locos a few days in advance. 30925 was in the...
You can check what's open access and what isn't on OS Explorer 1:25000 maps. The on-line version, as used by the Streetmap website, is kept...
That contradicts what The Railway Herald's Railtours page says. They think 46100's first public train will be The English Riviera Express on Sun...
The article in The Grauniad suggests RCS is using "reconditioned InterCity 125s". Presumably that's just the coaches - or have LSL got a couple of...
Indeed, though you can join the society. Joining instructions were emailed to participants earlier today.
Well, that's more than just a toe in the water, isn't it? 3 times a day, 6 days a week for 8 weeks. That sort of frequency should help attract...
The problem with face masks is that they don't make much difference to the wearer - they don't stop you breathing in infected droplets in the air...
I wonder if such restrictions apply to moving trains, particularly ones that set out from England? I seem to remember that licencing laws can't be...
That depends on what LSL have done to 34046 recently and what needs testing. A loaded test isn't necessarily needed after intermediate maintenance.
Or gets to haul some Euroepean tours if it's successful? :-)
Sounds like a nice idea, which should get the loco (and owner) some good local publicity. It's not entirely inappropriate, any more than the named...
Ah, maybe that's the ocassion I'm thinking about?
Don't be. That's very effective, especially given how many folks on the platform are in (some form of) period costume :-)
IIRC Stepney has Westinghouse air-brakes which made this combination possible. Something tells me that she doesn't have vacuum brakes (or at...
