Kirk Oswald liked Respite's post in the thread North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.
Yesterday 44806 was very dead with a replacement spring needed and no spares, despite having two Black Fives on the line. I would have liked to have ridden to Whitby on a steam hauled 9.20 from Pickering but this was a class 37. 92134 was...

44871 and 45407 are at Fort William and 45212 is under overhaul (or not yet started) so unlikely I would have thought. Even if they had not gone to FW I would have thought the mainline programme would have kept them busy.

Spot on with this SECR65. I used to volunteer on the line and about 60% of complaints were due to non-provision of steam "it's what we've come for" was such a frequent comment that it became routine. On days when the Moorlander was the only steam...

Unless people have got more used to endless training since I retired in 2012 I found there was much negativity about it (whatever it was) even when people were being paid to do it. It was viewed by most as a box ticking exercise, if online...

I might not be right either, but my impression of visiting the NYMR at least annually over the past few years is that the only priority is delivering the bucket and spade brigade to Whitby, by whatever means possible, and overlooking/overcharging...

[MEDIA] Here's my footage of the Earl & the Two Manors in action with The Whistling Ghost tour yesterday. I filmed the Earl at Charfield, Fordgate and Cogload Junction, and the Manors at Churchlands Bridge, Washford and Williton. I hope you...

Respite liked Wagoniester's post in the thread SVR Summer Gala - 18&19 July.
The attached image artwork has appeared in the digital version of Railway Magazine that came out today... I suspect it's not long before Holly Bank No. 3 is officially confirmed in this case. A nice illustration - matches some other recent SVR...
