staffordian liked Oswald T Wistle's post in the thread Cumbrian Coast Express 2024.
I don't usually "do" the Cumbrian Coasts and I hadn't planned to do so today. This morning I had a job, to print two photographs, simple you might think . . . think again! The photos, that reside on Mrs W's phone had to be printed a specific...

free2grice liked Belgarath001's post in the thread Tornado.
I didn't take any pictures of this area myself whilst looking over the engine in the shed today, but there's now a valve on both sides - the fireman's side looking more angled than the driver's I think...for reference here's a screenshot from the...

There's a lot of Bulleids here already - with more to come. 34081 was due to 'land' on Tuesday but it might arrive tomorrow, I suppose, if the hauliers have a good run down. We'll just have to wait and see. 35006 is scheduled to arrive on...

There was a Claud Hamilton project web-site, but it is now a blank page. A facebook page remains, but its last entries were in 2019. The Nat Pres thread for the project has also dried up....

I travelled on all three sets and didn't find any of them to be overly full .. even managed to find a seat on the vintage set when we were turfed out of our original seats to make room for the band.

Robin liked misspentyouth62's post in the thread 6880 Betton Grange.
Yes, that's pretty much what I had gleaned although some of the older news reports from http://www.6880.co.uk/news/ confirms the swap from 5199 to 6880. In a nutshell. 6880 runs with wheelsets that previously ran in preservation with 5199...

misspentyouth62 liked Robin's post in the thread 6880 Betton Grange.
I've had another dig in SVR News, and I think the answer is "yes". The acquisition of the spare wheels from 4156 was never reported that I can find, but I assume it was the GWR(SVR)A (owners of 7235/9303) who acquired them based on what follows....
