Big Al replied to the thread RTC 2026.
Indeed. My hope was that perhaps there would have been a bit more power up front to alleviate what will be going on at the back but despite a servicing stop away from the OHLE it looks as though the plan will be to run to York without a tender...

[ATTACH] "Wightwick Hall" was well liked by crews even if the trains were not full. The RAT on Saturday was a bit spooky!

Very enjoyable day out on the Worcester Shakespeare Express today, ran like clockwork as per usual. Shame the SVR Mogul wasn't ready, but Clun Castle ran beautifully, including a very noisey assent of Old Hill bank. Was my mate's first...

I see from a post on Instagram that 30506 is now turned to face country after her visit to the ELR. This will provide some new photo opportunities with the S15. Sent from my XQ-BT52 using Tapatalk

Spinner liked brennan's post in the thread Boiler tubes.
These reports surface every so often. Usually the cause can be attributed to either poor installation practice or poor boiler management. We used ERW type tube for many years but have now changed to the solid drawn as these last longer....

Spinner liked 007's post in the thread 1994 Blue Peter incident.
If people don't view the footage or don't know about what happened then we as a movement will just forget its significance as an event. There is nothing morbid about learning from past mistakes to avoid a repeat in the future. The railway has...

No 1T57 reporting numbers today. The smokebox has been adorned with a wreath for Remembrance Day. A nice touch and most appropriate. <BJ>

For once, Muggin's 'Ere wasn't atop the hill on Saturday, only Me Oppo & Nipper were! They had a short working day removing the final sections of condemned cladding from the south side of the workshop PMV. Instead, Muggin's did visit that neck...
