I've highlighted a bit because it's one of several ways in which an NR institutionally more hostile than today could get steam off the busier main...
I'd contribute to a Turbomotive newbuild fund like a shot. Can't agree with Sheff about the turbine issue really, after all the original main...
Elsewhere on the forum (What's Going on) it's been suggested that the true "culprit" at Carnforth is the lubricant they've been using. Has anyone...
What will eventually end steam on the major main lines is track capacity aka pathing issues, as traffic (incl freight) grows and grows and grows -...
Event of the century? I think that for GWR fans, that title still rests with the non-stop Bristolian for sheer organisational daring and...
Re the marketing and fares debate. Perhaps the TBE concept is more of a railtour enthusiasts' day out, by which I mean for connoiseurs of the...
I think many people were stunned by the speed at which the Cauldon Lowe - Leekbrook section was readied for heritage running. It was evidence of...
Nope, 6202 the UNrebuilt turbomotive, with only the reverser turbine tweaked so it could actually shunt its train. Or 46202 and 45637 Windward...
But I would not presume to believe that Anthony tabled my idea to start this ball rolling. (Although if he did...) Anthony, do reserve me a seat!...

Re: 6100 Royal Scot..Progress 2010. I've shortened your original Martin. I prefer it that way.
Can you give us a link to your smugmug site, Neil? Frankly, all your photos of engine classes and locations down the decades should be declared a...
That's an excellent photowebsite from the visitor's point of view, Neil. Allows fast and flexible viewing. Were 45735 & 45736 regarded as...
Thanks to everyone who was out to film, who supported the trip by buying a seat, and last but not least to the crew. 46115 + Driver Hodgson =...
I actually meant this as an ironic dig to rile the couple of contributors whose attitude seems to be "It's our Mallard, why should the krauts have...
That's not what I'm wanting to see Victor, I actually think 5043 could handle those parameters. What I don't want is to read how 7P loco "X" is...
Risks? Never mind the boat trip, what about the DB Museum in Nürnberg? Look for 17 October 2005...
If 5043 is to attempt Beattock, please start from Preston to do Shap as well, make sure there are 11 on, fully loaded, and the weather is showery....
