The original plan was Lakeside to a new station at Plumpton Junction. This was scuppered by a road scheme which severed the line at Haverthwaite. Supporters had begun to gather locos at Carnforth. They then divided into two companies, some...

Good to see the 33 working instead of the DMU. I had many good runs with 33s on the SWD including an astonishing run on the Brighton-Plymouth with 95 at Broad Clyst and some very good climbs. It shows the resilience of the locos that the...
