Do I see a burn mark on the smoke box? Build up of ash behind the door? Consequence of the coal WC has to use?
That's a really nicely written and concise report covering all the necessary ground with just enough detail to give a sense of the trip. Thanks....
6201 is a big loco and can haul air braked trains. In that context it is a really useful engine for the main line so it's not surprising that a...
No comment! Nice video though.
Sorry, I know nothing except what several DBC train crews have said to me at different times over the years. By 'safety' I mean operational...
You may be right in your Network Rail comment but I think you will find that DBC will have had a hand in that decision. My understanding is that...
Well if they are going to do it properly from Taunton to Plymouth and back then they could try the combination of steam and diesel like this and...
....or any job actually. Strikes me as a priority, one would think. And the end date for this to be sorted is when please? Sorry, not a...
A nice easy day out for Tangmere then it seems...good videos though.
A massive area for debate so my brief comments are probably going to raise more questions than answers. Let's park the austerity matter as that...
I don't know the answer to this except to observe that post WW2 the whole point of the Standard Class locomotives was that they had some parts in...

Can't think of any owner that would although the A1ST went through a period of trying hard to do so, I recall. However, working a loco hard is...
The solution is simple and it could be shown in the advertising. 1. A steam hauled trip is exactly that; the WCRC CME is an example. 2. A trip...
I think that this may be an error by VT. You advertise a train on a given date. You book on that date. That's the contract. You can't then force...
For years on the SWML, and I do mean years, the curve on the London side of Wimbledon station would give trains quite a kick. It was a definite...
And it doesn't seem a bit out of place on the Bluebell either.
Give them credit; Saphos has struck gold with its packages. They just don't do 'cheap and cheerful' and £165 for a seat plus tea/coffee is quite...
I agree. It's not sour grapes on my part just the stark reality of the market place and how this set-up reads things. If they were seriously...
Peterborough controlled from somewhere over 100 miles away. That's quite something but will be a salutary moment on the first time that an...
