That's a real shame if Swanage is looking to sell it's Ironclad. Ironclads haven't fared very well in preservation, and the one at Swanage seemed...
Cutting it a bit fine, but it looks like the LUL 4TC might be ready for the Wareham service:...
The Wareham services continue throughout the summer holidays, to a slightly revised timetable not stopping at Harmans Cross or Herston. The main...
It says on their website that a temporary Swanage railway ticket office will be opened at Wareham on the days the service is running. Presumably...
Isle of Wight steam railway. Has absolutely no mk1 or mk2s. All it's trains are formed of beautifully restored LBSCR, SECR and even older coaches.
Very nice. Pleasantly surprised to see it turned in SR livery.
Eastleigh works itself might not be an option, but what about the old carriage works? No longer rail connected, but the buildings still stand...
The Swanage to Wareham services will be a normal public service, rather than a heritage service. As such it will use whatever units are...
That could well be the way the Swanage Railway goes. Class 117s are currently being overhauled for the Wareham service. However in years to come,...
I agree. There are plenty of Waterloo and Bournemouth to Wareham services already, using electric trains. So introducing these new services,...
Has anyone mentioned the two USA tanks at the KESR yet? They were being towed to the scrapyard when they ran hot, and had to be abandoned at...
Yes now that 31806, 31874 and 31625 have arrived there is a reduced need for SLL locos at Swanage. There is also less workshop space for SLL now...
Yes it's a shame the Mid Hants couldn't have taken this opportunity now it has its new workshop. There is already one Ironclad on the line. With...
Don't they already have people with the right skills? I thought the lottery grant for the building of the carriage workshop also included...
Good to see the route being cleared and something being done about the mud. Should make my bike rides along there more enjoyable. Now if only...
I think the problem was that for many years the Mid Hants was run by business people rather than railway people. For example I think Margaret...
I doubt they had any plans to repair the mk2s. Scrap them after 10 years and buy some mk3s instead was probably what they were thinking!
I know they went a bit crazy buying mk2s, but never realised there was a conscious decision to virtually eliminate mk1s altogether. Madness.
Only one of the Bulleids is on loan from the Bluebell. 4211 and 4367 have been on the Mid Hants for years..
Hard to tell which one,but that looks like another Maunsell or Ironclad in front of 4449 too. And people say the Mid Hants was formed too late to...
