SECR 65 liked 60044's post in the thread North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.
There is a theory ~(I think it has previously been expressed on here) that Chris Price left the NYMR because his wife wanted to move away from the area - I think there's some truth in that but not for the reasons publicly expounded, I think the...

osprey liked 45698Mars's post in the thread Jacobite 2026.
A nice thought but it doesn't really make sense. Note too that the WCR Jacobite website advertises "heritage Mk2 coaches". If I had a nice shiny rake of CDL fitted Mk1's then why would I send it to work with air brake fitted locos in Scotland...

Sheff liked guycarr360's post in the thread V2 4771 Green Arrow to return?.
Regarding the "attempt" this is the correct answer, the only places that can support high speed running are Washington to Boston, and imagine the disruption is something did go wrong, and the coverage. To raise funds it is a fanciful notion, i...

For modellers and the pedantic it isn’t quite right for 76001 that had the earlier type of cab with full footplate longer footplate, no fallplate and handrail up to the cab roof in front of the tender. I don’t know about the Class 4s but their...

H Cloutt liked Fireline's post in the thread Rother Valley Railway.
All three were out of service by then, although it could be argued that Dom and Hastings were never really in service. Gervase at least did some work in the early years. Gervase's current overhaul is proceeding at Rolvenden, and with Hastings and...

76079 went first to Fort William in 2004 for a private charter over the late May Bank Holiday and then ran a public train the day after. As John says it was then at Fort William in 2008 during the photo charter. On both visits it masqueraded as...

76079 did go up to the WHL in 2008, renumbered as Fort William’s 76001 it took part in the photo charters. It wasn’t a lot of use on the Jacobite as it was restricted to hauling six coaches on the Mallaig Road [ATTACH]

Nice picture there John. I was working there over that weekend and was the afternoon guard when the loco worked back to Mallaig that day, having turned during the lunch layover at F ort William. Here is the train standing in Lochailort station...
