Yes, 3068 is privately owned. It doesn't (yet) have a Bluebell web page, since it is not (yet) actually on the Bluebell. The problem with the Rambler set is that CLC is a terrible livery for maintenance; hard to keep clean, and needs much more...

And now it starts to get personal! How grown up to just tell people who disagree with you that they should just go away. Why should you be in charge of who posts on here? You don't have to post every opinion about everything on here,...

I can second that on today. Very busy and good to see. Excellent showing from both 73082 & 2999 on full line duties. My attention was more focused on 72 on the shuttles. A great way to enable the masses to travel behind her. Another excellent day...

The climb out of Alton is hardly a mole hill. Some big engines have come to grief on it in the past.

[ATTACH] A bit of what is now "old school" railway working - the driver of 37017 is talking to the box on the SPT (signal post telephone) having been stood at the signal at Bootham outside York station for a few minutes - no radio communication...

Like many others we cancelled services last week because of the weather. Back open again now, Haulwen is the current service loco with L150 also available after washout and will probably be out later in July. Moorbarrow has been stopped for...

acorb liked SECR 65's post in the thread Bluebell Railway General Discussion.
Another good day today. Equally busy compared to yesterday I would reckon. Guard of the shuttle reported good loadings almost all day, and from what I saw, I would agree. Some lovely shows from Beachy Head today. Time was again well kept for the...
