The NYMR is in a relatively rural location, so most of its potential volunteers will have to travel some distance to get there. My guess is that...
Some of my own gala memories are attached. Even in the Edwardian era, few goods engines had such an elaborate livery as that carried by No 65. I...
Thanks for giving your thoughts on the gala event. It is always good to hear the considered views of someone "in the know". My own preference is...
Were you thinking of the 4-BUF "Bognor Buffet" units? https://flashbak.com/wonderful-20th-century-pictures-waterloo-station-59318/buffet-car/
Indeed. I recently had to show a young couple how to open the door of a Mk1 on a heritage line. They were perplexed by the lack of buttons or...
I was unable to get to the gala, so missed my hoped-for trip behind "Fenchurch" with the GWR carriages. But I visited the WSR on Wednesday of...
Plenty of gala photos already on Steve Edge's web site: https://www.wsr.org.uk/ I stumbled across a good video of action on Friday. Don't know...
Thanks to all who have posted photos or videos of the gala, and pleased to hear that it was financially successful. Unfortunately, I couldn't...

So two Jubilees, a Grange, two Manors and a BR 4MT? That's six 4-6-0s - possibly a unique gala offering? I certainly hope to be there.
You obviously mean the 4-cylindered Jubilee Class. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LNWR_Jubilee_Class
According to RCTS, Nos 2001-6 all acquired wartime black prior to rebuilding to A2/2. But as for No 2007 ....????
Not many GWR features evident in that group! No taper boilers or domeless boilers, never mind brass-work. Nice photo though. You don't often...
Which of the Australian locos had brass tops?
Indeed. I found it forming my train when I visited the GWSR yesterday. A single diesel railcar must be the most economical form of train that a...
Not sure where "Milepost 43" is located. According to Bradshaw: From Northampton Castle: 37 miles to Wansford; 43½ miles to Peterboroough (GE)....
