Goes to show how different we all are. I was the booked fireman on Gresley on Monday morning and it was great to be on her again, having last...
Interesting that the NYMR seem to have been caught out by the popularity of that old stager Sir Nigel Gresley while the poor old Swanage Railway...
Surely the loco in the second picture approaching the Terrier on the Bluebell is real enough and would be the Adams Radial Tank, 488. The green...
A poor analogy I'm afraid. Had the Titanic not tried to steer away from the iceberg but hit it bow on it would almost certainly have survived,...
I know where you are coming from Gary. I still vividly recall being spell bound at the sight of Oakhampton and Biggin Hill lifting the final down...
Don't you believe it - it changes all the time:eek:. As for this idea of a 5 year loan policy, it is something that I'd not heard of until now. As...
I wonder - is it that much different to the Bluebell's 488? I know that it retired some 30 years ago but there will still be loco crew there that...
Lovely collection Neil - cant wait to see more. One minor point - Picture 8/15 is at Crianlarich Upper and not Spean Bridge Then picture 9/15...
You're not going to tell me that your delightful pre-grouping bogie coaches weigh as much as Swanage's equally delightful but much heavier Mark...
Memo to self - just dont bother relating interesting events on here as they seem to get blown out of all proportion. Passenger trains get...
Look, there was a three way discussion between the train crew, of which I was part, West Coast Railway Control and Network Rail Control. Examining...
Sorry Alan, but I was there and you were not. Thanks for giving the company all this credit but it really is not warrented. The request to examine...
I think that you are over egging this somewhat. We had after all been all the way to Aberdeen and back and had encountered no problems. There was...
We were notified at Dundee on the return that we would be the first train of the day over the Gleneagles route and therefore would have to prove...
That was the plan at one time but it has clearly changed now. Having just been reading the curent issue of Atlantic News the excitement within the...
I seem to remember that there was one displayed alongside the loco at York many years ago. I wondered what happened to it. Peter
Alas not Steve - I'll be at the back with a flag in my hand. Much as I love steam on the Highland main line I'll still be thinking of the miracle...
Personally, I would pay far more than that to travel behind the T3 rather than the A3. Unfortunately, much as I'd love to get to Swanage to see...
That's not correct Steve.It is planned to return to York in the middle next week. That may of course change if issues are found during the locos...
Nice one Mike. Pity I had to head home yesterday morning. All four were there when I left but not in a position where they could photographed...
