Jamessquared liked Dead Sheep's post in the thread Kent & East Sussex Railway.

Buckets aren’t automatically track-damaging just because they can ride roughly. Track damage depends on the forces each wheel puts into the rails, not simply on the locomotive’s weight, and those forces are affected by speed, wheel condition,...

With regard to the WHR, if you're a WHRS member, you get 10 free trips a year, so the cost shouldn't be an issue for the member. Yes it might be an issue for other people in the party who are not members, but membership costs less than a full...

alastair liked LMarsh1987's post in the thread Saphos Trains 2026.

The Duke took 10 last November. The only issue with an S&C return would be Wilpshire Bank, especially the tunnel. Everything on their tour page indicates this will run the same as the previous runs, regardless of the lack of Upperby LE paths...

Wait till ECJS RTO is finished- it will be fully compatible with the other teak carriages and could be run in conjunction with Gresley RB which has a decent-sized kitchen, to provide a dining service on teak specials! Not so much capacity (I...

Johnb liked GWRman's post in the thread 6024 King Edward 1.

Aside from 6024's physical late BR condition, the livery - as stunning as it may look - has innacuracies all over the place. The shade of green is indeed incorrect (looks more like an early BR shade as used on 5043), the buffer beam number font...
