silversteellady liked cksteam's post in the thread North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.
A week or two ago I thought things were on the up motive power wise with 44806, Repton and Omaha all out. Today it looks like all diesels again (I'm guessing 44806 has failed?). The lack of steam has kept me away this year so far with only the...

Not quite true, but you'd be forgiven for missing it seeing as we haven't formally announced it yet - Andrew Barclay no.2315 'Lady Ingrid' is the final locomotive for the lineup, subject to agreement of contract. 'Lady Ingrid' is freshly...

silversteellady liked LittleRedTrain's post in the thread Didcot Railway Centre Autumn Steam Gala 11-13 September.
An excellent day despite the rain on Sunday. Sadly I think the weather must have put quite a few people off, as it didn't feel very busy. Hopefully it was still a commercial success. 229 was an excellent choice as a visitor, a good size for the...
