    Great Central Railway, Autumn Steam Gala - 3rd-6th October 2024

    I suggested hiring 68153 on one of the facebook posts. Sadly nobody seems to have jumped at that idea. It's a loco we've never had before and...

    GCR Black 5 No 45491

    Gresley Society’s GNR N2 1744

    Harz Narrow Gauge - HSB

    Very sad. Last time I visited (2012, on my stag do!) we had both 99 6001 and 99 5906 working on the Selketal and had a wonderful time. I can't see...

    Gresley Society’s GNR N2 1744

    Bulleid Pacifics - Past or Present
