3ABescot vond Big Al's post leuk in het topic LE movements, ECS and test runs 2026.
I think that spark arresting has always been a key element of a FTR exam. I wouldn't be surprised if Network Rail is building up a list of main line locos and their individual success in containing what they produce. 6024 would be quite a test, I...

3ABescot vond John Petley's post leuk in het topic Saphos 2027.
What has surprised me most about the Saphos 2027 schedule is the complete lack of anything before 1st May thus far. What happens if we get another hot, dry summer and steam is banned again? There are six August departures. How many of them will...

Oh yes indeed! My only Jub run was on the famous 10.17 Leeds-Carlisle service in 1967. A good climb and 80 mph down the other side. I'm not sure how copyright works with Annabel Ingelworthy helping me ( I will remove the following if Annabel...

Part of the job. If we want succesful events we have to provide what people want. I’m very much sat in the gala group to ensure we drive events for the people as much as the volunteers

Indeed and it does amaze me at times how impatient some folk can be when the event is still a week away. Given that I am one of those who would have liked to meet up with 80097 but sadly will miss the gala this year I can live with the changes!...
