alts1985 liked free2grice's post in the thread RTC 2026.
There are many shots of the Duke's visit to Penzance and return if you choose to use Flickr or Facebook, many taken in glorious lighting conditions. I filmed the train passing Horse Cove as it's most unusual for a steam tour to pass mid afternoon...

alts1985 liked DBLM Dave's post in the thread NYMR | Autumn Steam Gala | 24-27 September 2026.
[MEDIA] Not just a most fantastic gala - but an event with an atmosphere full of great sounds, sights, commitment and positivity all round. Well done to all that made this possible! The video includes extended coverage of 4079 Pendennis Castle -...

Sawdust liked FearOfManchester's post in the thread Stainmore Railway Company (Kirkby Stephen East).
The KSE lot haven’t sat idol these months past, one signal box just simply won’t do - The brickwork has been rising out of the ground, rails for the lead-out benches and servicing runs have been placed, not an easy task lugging those with...

ilvaporista replied to the thread Italy: San Sebastian Iron Road.
Also in Italy an English Spanner, chiave inglese, is the adjustable one... I used to get a lot of stick on the production line if I asked for a certain size. They used to shout across that the f'''ing English did want an English Spanner but a...

Lineisclear replied to the thread North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.
Charity Accounts are recognized as being pretty impenetrable even by those who compile them! However there isn’t any alternative. The format and content are prescribed by regulation. I’m not sure the AGMs are the best events for a wider review....

alts1985 liked City_Steam's post in the thread NYMR | Autumn Steam Gala | 24-27 September 2026.
An exhausting 3 days of riding, walking, and taking some shots. The Castles bark sounded great, and the T3 looked born to haul teaks. Fridays afternoon run from Levisham to Goathland with T3 at the head and Repton as banker was great fun....

On the NYMR locos fall into three categories, owned, service agreements and hire agreements. Only the latter cost money at the point of use, service agreements carry an obligation to overhaul at the end of ticket. Sawdust.

Kirk Oswald liked 35B's post in the thread North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.
I'd suggest that ownership is less important than residence, and make it any locomotive resident at the railway and maintained day to day by the railway's MPD. Specifically on the availability KPIs, I'd also suggest that these should be weighted...

green five liked Old Kent Biker's post in the thread Lynton and Barnstaple - Operations and Development.
I would say an appeal for £150,000 and a project to relay half a mile of track at Snapper, plus the launch of the website, and an announcement of the membership scheme was all fairly big news. There was mention of a few very close pending...

StoneRoad liked FearOfManchester's post in the thread Peak Rail General Discussion.
It’s been a few months since the last update, with the running season going on this isn’t unexpected, but no news is good news in this case so here’s some tidbits- The remaining columns for the up platform and miscellaneous have been delivered...

JEB-245584 liked The Gricing Owl's post in the thread Into the night.
Modern cameras and well lit stations quite frequently see some really great night steam loco shots on Nat Pres. Plus a smaller number of available light shots taken as night decends. It's something I've been trying for decades, and one country I...

green five liked Old Kent Biker's post in the thread Lynton and Barnstaple - Operations and Development.
The new Barnstaple & Yeo Valley Railway Trust website launched on Saturday, along with an appeal to raise £150,000 to relay 730 metres (half a mile) of track at Snapper Halt

green five liked RailWest's post in the thread Lynton and Barnstaple - Operations and Development.
IMHO the most important thing about the use of AI generated material is that the fact that it is AI-generated is made very clear up front. A sort of "this what it may have looked like if...." offering is one thing, but simply publishing...

Stephen Hughes liked twr12's post in the thread RTC 2026.
More typical behaviour for some Nat Pres contributors is to only comment when something has gone wrong. I’m reminded of the very old Private Eye fake Daily Mail article:- TRAINS ARRIVES ON TIME SHOCK The 0847 service from Bristol to Par and the...
