Bikermike replied to the thread North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.
Is this a historically-proposed thing, or a new one? IMO, it looks as if he put a lot of thought into the bonnets and chassis etc, then did the cab in 5 minutes - it breaks up the outline, and (on photos at least) then loses it against a pale...

Johnme101 liked James McLeish's post in the thread Doncaster Works open day June 2026.
Some footage covering the event and the various locomotives on display. Was a great day overall, and was certainly a nice surprise to have Caroline offering rides throughout the day. [MEDIA]

Dag Bonnedal liked acorb's post in the thread FR & WHR & WHHR News.
Quite amazed no one on here has posted about the Extreme Steam event. Just got back from 3 superb days riding both railways. Spent Friday getting some Kalahari mileage in, then in the evening enjoyed a round trip to Caernarfon behind a Fairlie,...

MellishR liked Olde576's post in the thread Lynton and Barnstaple - Operations and Development.

MellishR liked Old Kent Biker's post in the thread Lynton and Barnstaple - Operations and Development.
To be fair, this thread has been running since 2009, and has 818 pages, so it is perhaps a bit much to expect anyone to remember or read through all of it, and not everyone is within easy distance of the L&B to visit 'in the flesh' so to speak....

MellishR liked RailWest's post in the thread Lynton and Barnstaple - Operations and Development.
Indeed :-( Do people never actually (a) read what has already been written on the subject so many times and (b) go and look at the area and appreciate the impractical nature of their suggestions (however well-meant they may be) ???

burnham-t liked Jamessquared's post in the thread Bluebell Railway General Discussion.
Not my photo, but Sharpthorn going home after the High Weald steam rally. Since the location of this photo is Fletching, it looks like a slightly circuitous route was chosen - it's certainly not on the shortest route back! I think it is the same...
