    Well, as there isn't one I thought I should start one.............

    I took my two oldest yesterday (Saturday 18th March)

    First Born wants to get some HST Trips in before they are phased out - given the current situation I suspect I might never live to see the day when they are all gone, so the 'Half Price Weekend' had the words 'no brainer' written on it.

    Judging by the numbers we weren't the only ones to think that way.

    Well, a good time was had by all, while it is clear that the coaches need to go under cover, its good to see a new carriage shed under construction.

    The website could do with some improvement - the loco roster in particular but its good to see one of the pioneering preserved lines doing well, thank you all.

    I see pictures of 5526 outshopped from the workshops today in Great Western green. Looks very nice.

    SDR seem to be keeping it a secret, no mention on either websites or social media.

    Does anyone know what timetable will be in operation over the model and miniature weekend 10-11th June. The website has it marked as a special event but no mention of timetable. Red or blue?

    Some lovely shots. Poor old 2873. I remember photographing it, still with its boiler, at Tyseley back in the early 1980s. I recall that the driving wheels had very good tyres, much better than ours on 2807 at the time. I wonder if, one day, someone might try and put this loco back together again.

    A change to the loco roster for Thursday 19th April.
    From SDR FB.

    In a change to the loco roster, it is now planned that 5542 will be in operation tomorrow (19 April), hauling the advertised passenger service. This will be one of very few days this year that this locomotive will be in operation on the SDR, so get it while you can!

    How come? Is she going elsewhere or is there a period out of traffic for overhaul scheduled?

    My guess would be the one in the middle of no where close to a Battlefield ,which SDR locos often visit.

    Wonderful visit today with Roz- my missus!
    The Dart was fabulous and the 64xx working v well indeed!
    Good news- confirmed that 1420 following 1369 through the Works!
    It’ll miss the 2019 celebrations (1450 will hopefully be there) but will re-emerge in 2020/21
    Best news for a long time for someone who likes 14xx !!
