That would be my preference too but some people then complain that it's boring. I remember the West Somerset ran a very simple timetable some...
Maybe - but is that the reason that 34046 was taken off at Bristol or had it failed? There was an awfully long delay at Bristol before the train...
Had a lovely Bank Holiday weekend in the Cotswolds including a visit to the gala on Saturday. An enjoyable day despite the delays so many thanks...
Oh dear - not having much luck with the "spamcans" are you! Still I'm always happy to see 7714. Is it going to be facing Broadway?
Can't really do that as the loco has a support coach behind it. They did slot in a diesel behind the steam loco on the last Kingswear run but...
I am guessing it will be 70000. There was a movement from Crewe this morning (70000 only worked one-way to Chester last Saturday. I know you...
Has something changed since yesterday? 70000 went round Kent with the diesel on the back.
Glad you had a good day. My wife and I visited on Saturday. I think we had better luck with the weather which was warm and sunny. Again the...
I guess it depends on whether 34046 returns to Southall or stays at Bishops Lydeard for the next Kingswear trip. Does anyone know what the plan...
I have never been to a diesel gala in my life and had no intention of doing so. However, if there's one class that could persuade me to get out...
Someone's got to be that person. If it wasn't you it would have been me! More importantly, does anyone know if they are serving curries and...
Just had an email from the railway saying that 563 is staying on for the coming Bank Holiday weekend and will be working the Alton diagram. 35005...
To give you a bit more information - the photo was apparently from Jan 1961. The U Class was 31628 and the caption says the Bulleid is a light...
With regard to the Bournemouth Belle and other diversionary workings see Chapter 6 of Roger Hardingham's book "The Mid Hants Railway from...
Yes it's not often you can get off your train, cross to the other side, buy at book from one of the second hand shops, grab a pint from the...
I used to go spotting at Cardiff in the late 1970s. The highlight of the day was usually the Port Talbot to Llanwern iron ore train hauled by...
Thanks for the explanation but as you say, the loco is far too clean for a 1960s look!
Just one question - does anyone know why 7802 isn't carrying nameplates?
Very enjoyable day at the gala today. Six cracking locos all in good form! Numbers were noticeably a bit down on what you'd usually expect on a...
All interesting news - did it give any indication as to when the overhaul of 34007 may be complete? It really can't come back soon enough as the...
