Indeed they do, but all that Queens Park North Shed is used for is stabling some trains overnight (last one in, first one out). The middle two...
That won’t be the tender that it has now, as it swapped tenders with 35005 when both were on the line. (The present overhaul has also replaced the...
It’s over 20 years since I saw it but I seem to remember this machine had some interesting patch repairs on the boiler barrel. Presumably dating...
I suspect that my earliest steam memory was of my Dad picking me up to watch over the bridge parapet, a train arriving at Loughborough Central,...

Mine is a nighttime memory too; working Swithland box late one evening with the darkness shutting out the modern world, dining train simmering...
It really is a lovely line & very friendly. Over 20 years since my visit, but fond memories including sitting up front with the guard who waved to...

I’m aware of a profoundly deaf person who has been allowed to work trackside, as part of a specific and close-knit team in which the others...
The ad says LNER number unknown. In fact it never had one. We have two from this series on the GCR and I have somewhere (but not to hand...
I think I saw pretty much everything there including the shed full of rotting trams adjacent to the line at Lamastre, which I snuck round. Really...
