andyjhatton liked Michael Whitehouse's post in the thread VT: The Great Northern with Tornado - 26/09/26.
Network Rail's fire index shows orange for the S&C tomorrow, so we expect Tornado to be unassisted over that route. The 47 comes off before the climb which is why the times show a loco change at Hellifield. The Eastern Region shows red so steam...

I suggest you’re being unduly harsh! I suggested that members ( and it’s particularly true of volunteers) own the heart and soul of their railways. It’s an emotional stake but actual ownership of the railway is ultimately a matter of hard fact.

I had a really good day today riding the rails and supping some, refreshing and nutritious Adul Beverages at Goathland. Timekeeping was pretty good overall and all in all a Good Day, although I have to say that the amount of Ash die back was...

A little while ago, you criticised me for using the term "third parties" as a collective term for grant givers (current and potential), or other interested parties, on the basis that I was demeaning them. I then read this, and see a definition...

A.I to the rescue?! A combination of poor light, slow film, a slow lens, slow shutter speed and the deterioration of the colour slides over the passage of 62 years mean the the photos I put on Flickr weren't as good as I would have liked them...

Following the Beer Festival there has been a shunt at Rothley and the rail crane was brought next to B560676. On Wed the C&W team were able to hoist our new fixed end for a trial fit. [ATTACH] It is very close but one of the stanchions has...
