37263 was a credit to your railway, I enjoyed a splendid run behind it. Great noise and clearly it enjoyed 'being let off the leash'! Some...
Agree, @Big Al, as much as I appreciate @J Shuttleworth contributions here, especially when he sheds some reality on some of the wild speculation...
Without wishing to prolong the diesel on back debate any longer (which has been done to death infinitely on here) - this is a most bizarre post....
Has a surprising turn of speed, only had the one trip behind it & I was initially disappointed as had been hoping for the Ivatt 2, but it did...
I believe the Severn Valley Railway got a very good deal on a second hand one for Bridgnorth and it was still a significant amount of £. The SVR...
He appears to also own the class 37 that arrived last year, so pretty safe assume restoration and use on same basis as that loco. Great location...
[ATTACH] Very pleasant day on the railway yesterday, in the company of Pendennis Castle and Foremarke Hall. The crews were being very...
Since 2006 there has been a huge culture change, led very much by the professionalism of the SVR diesel groups. Back then diesels were tolerated,...
Thanks everyone for the informative replies. No doubt this year's gala has set a new benchmark. I can remember a time not that long ago when...
Apologies for the dodgy quotation above, something went awry with my editing and can't seem to separate the quote from my post.
Intriguing question, but is this the first time a diesel gala has outsold the corresponding steam event? No doubt these are very impressive and...
Did all three in one weekend once! Sadly, I won't either be travelling behind no 7 anytime soon, not because of diesels, but due to Saphos...
Unfortunately, steam over the Devon Banks is always going to be a limited load, therefore an 8P is what allows the train to be viable within an...
Couldn't agree more, same feeling at the steam Gala, railway back to doing what it does best.
Which is precisely why I mentioned it, the timetable slipped by about 10 mins every hour and from other reports it was the same pattern on other...
I agree the timetable didn't quite work, (I commented as such on the gala thread), but I hope organisers will instead learn what caused those...
Totally agree, phenomenal effort by all involved. And let us not forget, the 'star' guest (cl 58) didn't actually make it! It also demonstrates...
What was even more daft was they could have gone either side of the power line and got virtually the same shot, but no right underneath was the...
As an aside, the new fashion accessory for Lineside photography seems to be enormous mono-poles, at least 4m high. Great bits of kit no doubt, but...
Yes, & I certainly wouldn't wish to prevent innovation and planners trying something new. It is a difficult balance, but there were a few grumbles...
