Yes. The original promo said steam out and back. That is what the punters will have paid for. Why would D1010 have changed their perceptions and...
As a signalman, I often had to stop a train in the dark because the tail lamp was out so I had to consider the train had divided. In never did and...
Ha ha!! Oooops. Slip of the fingers on the keyboard Andy. You, Mr. T are man of great integrity and provider of valuable information on this great...
Both steam trains out of Bristol on Sunday, this one and the Torbay Express, have been cancelled due to non-availability of locomotives.
Just noticed that this weekend's Torbay Express is cancelled and so is the Pembroke Coast special both due to lack of locomotives. Hoping to see...
Now now Adrian. As a senior West Coast man, there is no need to have a pop at the NP posters. They are made up of a wide range of types from the...
I don't think "flying past" is what we see. Trundling, I would say. That said, as a former WR signalman, to see steam passing that array of...
Not only that, the light engine will only be trundling back whereas, had it been on the train, it would have been speeding between 60 and 75mph....
My brother and I feel the same. Some people underestimate the negative impact of a diesel tagged on the back of WCRC tours. You Tube and NP...
I can only agree. But only if the publicity for these West Somerset Express tours stated steam out and back. If it did, short changed is an...
Thanks for the correction. The Combined Volume is good, very good with various locomotive specifications. But it does get confusing, especially in...
Blimey. No posting on the Torbay Express since 1.37pm! Has the tour stalled somewhere or just our NP posters having a Sunday rest. We shall see I...
I see from my Combined Volume 1960, that Jubilees built from 1942 onwards with larger boiler and double chimney were classified 7P with a tractive...
But you miss the point. Of those 12 steam hauled trains, I think I am right in saying on one with Leander yesterday is or will have diesel...
Let's get our facts straight here. Leander is not a 5X it is a 6P5F. There are many photos of Jubilees slogging up Shap unassisted in steam days...
All terribly depressing when a box on the back makes as much noise, well not quite I guess, as the steam loco on the front. Surely, Shap is the...
Why can't you go? What is more important. You can postpone your anniversary for a day or so, what you cannot postpone is the magic of a Duchess in...
I trainspotted at Newton Abbot in 1960 and there were railway tracks all over the place. Lots of platforms, up and down bypass lines for the...
Oh yes. I toot with a proper whistle!!
