bobsungod 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...

The Gricing Owl liked Oswald T Wistle's post in the thread LE movements, ECS and test runs 2024.
It took several years but he now has us fully trained, we are days and his "home" is for nights with plentiful food on an as required basis at both locations. It helps that his two homes are only 40yds apart. Many years ago a stray adopted us...

W.Williams replied to the thread Tornado.
Surely, to my mind anyway, given the issues we know of with the foundation rings, this is a measure to remove more deposit, more regularly. Two valves mean you can blow down from either side, but also, blast deposits out with clean water when the...

Gladiator 5076 liked 73129's post in the thread Mid Hants Railway Operational Matters.

simon 6233 liked Oswald T Wistle's post in the thread Crewe to York Private Charter: 3/6/24.
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...
