Haha, you make me sound like a proper gricer! But seriously, Tim Robbins has to take the credit after pointing out that one of the last regular...
Just to clarify, I had requested the loco wasn't cleaned in the fortnight before the charter so that it could look a bit more authentic for the...
A detailed report of the recent night-time relaying job is now available on the Bluebell website:...
Hi Bryan - have (hopefully) sent you a PM.
The actual night shift was a mix of external contractors, paid PW staff and a few volunteers. Mostly machine work so not too many people needed....
Tom is quite right in that most plant is hired as required. There are usually a couple of items on site at any one time but these are swapped...
Assuming you mean a repeat of the night-shoot with 30541 at Horsted last year, this was being investigated as an option but currently looks...
Sorry - I'm afraid I don't know re. NR restrictions. Jon
Conversely we've had quite a few occasions when we've been doing some sort of early / late track maintenance job in the middle of nowhere (all...
Mainly S&T work - the main job is the culmination of months of prep work with the final commissioning the north signalbox at Kingscote. Nothing...

Calling all photographers! This coming Saturday evening there will be a short photographic shoot at Horsted Keynes station as part of the Giants...

Hi Tom - yes, the film prop story is my understanding too. Cheers, Jon
There was some talk of removing it a few years back but I assume that as long as it remains structurally sound there isn't much point in doing so...
Not 100% sure, but think MHR managed 777, 850 and 925 a few years back? Regardless, it's great to have GoS back in the Bluebell's calendar - if...
The last time I waved at it it broke shortly afterwards, so thought best not to tempt fate again ;-)
The Q was indeed running on the GA today. Cheers, Jon
Further to this, yesterday the shuttering was lifted off the 2nd concrete headwall (very smart it looks too!); the remaining track panels were...
Yes, the buddleia is certainly taking hold on the cutting sides, while the seeded areas elsewhere now look like they've been there for years! Just...
