That would have been nice to be on. Sensible load including the diesel and an unusual route. Probably with no assistance as well. So LSL can do it when it suits them.

Oswald T Wistle liked jsm8b's post in the thread Crewe to York Private Charter: 3/6/24.
The old Daresbury station in Moore village, far more overgrown than the last shot I took here more years ago than I care to contemplate; given the amount of housebuilding around here I wonder if an argument could be made for a reopening. And...

It is often said that a criminal will return to the scene of his (or her) crime and so it was with Oswald. Only 7 weeks after my debacle at Diggle Jn (when I started the camera and then stopped it again a second later) I was back; given the...

One of my few Alps runs was with Merchant 28 actually with 9 on. A rolling start through Alton at 18 then 35 up the hill dropping off to a minimum of 24. Pretty straightforward really.

Nick C liked The Gricing Owl's post in the thread Mid Hants Railway Operational Matters.
It is superb. Adds back a soundtrack to a run I had behind unrebuilt 34019 'Bideford' over the Alps in 1966 during a diversion for the electrification works. A 10 coach train and re-starting from a stop at Alton a max of 33 mph on the easier bit,...
