The latest SR is good, and well above its 'Beano' reputation - articles on the Long Marston project, steam in Bosnia in particular but plenty...
@ Sir Nigel Gresley Thanks for sharing those excellent photos. I believe that I saw your car amongst the parked cars at Reznikov station on...
Thanks, Dick - I tried to pm you but it may not have worked. About to go, leaving wife and cat in charge, and won't be on line, so I'll look out...
I'm heading for the Czech Republic this weekend, where special trains are planned between Prague and the Railway Museum at Lužná u Rakovníka. The...
Yes, also a Plymouth boy in the 60s, this event is for me a must and has never disappointed. I went up on Thursday for a steam 'warm up' with...
This may not be strictly heritage, but I understand that the Canadian railway line from Sault St Marie to Hearst, through the Agawa Canyon, may be...
But it's good stuff, and there have been some great dmu events.

Good luck if you're still hoping. Sometimes people who've booked don't turn up for some reason and many tours have intermediate stops near the...
That's good news - an A4 is always welcome in the West; has one ever got to Penzance? With problems at St Blazey turntable, steam in Cornwall may...
Not sure the money is there in Ireland for new build, but a MGWR 2-4-0 would be rather nice. It might not be able to pull a worthwhile payload. John
Let's hope that not too much freight traffic has been permanently lost. I wonder whether there will be another train for the Teigngrace logs? A...
Well, Dunster to Minehead was double track in BR days although latterly worked as two separate single tracks; perhaps this could be reinstated to...
Some people think that a touch of staff grumpiness towards the public gives preserved railways a touch of 1960s BR authenticity. I do remember...
