3ABescot liked Steve's post in the thread North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.
We (or at least, I) don't know what is included in the quoted £250K. It may well include the hire of the scaffolding and propping until it is no longer required and not just the installation. If I was costing up the works, I'd have certainly...

3ABescot liked I. Cooper's post in the thread Vintage Trains 2026.
Whilst waiting for the seaside express the competition came trundling through, heading for Crewe: [ATTACH] Then an hour or so later the pair of Type 3s returned. It seems they picked up a souvenir headboard from one of the seaside shops in...

3ABescot liked Penricecastle's post in the thread 6024 King Edward 1.
It's still got the lower "main line" elliptical double chimney. Hopefully they'll paint it in BR green, rather than GWR livery, although if they've removed the smoke box door numberplate brackets, it does hint that GWR livery might be likely. I...

Great day on the railway yesterday, the vast majority of services were bang on time to the minute (if not early arriving!). Trains were well loaded and I think the railway deserves credit for basically making Thursday now a full day rather than...

7714 has had its old grate completely removed, a new grate fully rebuilt, and is back in steam. It will re-enter traffic this afternoon. A superb effort by ESMP and the Bridgnorth staff.

3ABescot liked acorb's post in the thread SVR General Discussion.
And given the number of families I saw it did a good job at that, mine included at 3 generations. The Auto Train BTW was a source of much fascination from my daughter (age 13) to my mum (whose 68th birthday we celebrated on the railway). I also...

3ABescot liked 2857Harry's post in the thread SVR General Discussion.
I would have to disagree I’m afraid. Branchlines was succesful, infact very succesful. It transformed what would have been a very average weekend of revenue, in to something extraordinary. It’s given us a platform to boost the event from next...

3ABescot liked Pymothy's post in the thread North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.
We left the lead 37 at Goathland presumably to help work the diner back. No issue with the loco failure, as I say I accept these things happen, totally understandable.To leave a packed train standing for 25 minutes without a single person...

3ABescot liked torgormaig's post in the thread Paddle Steamer Waverley.
I am very impressed by the distances she covers around our coastline. They seem very keen on exposeing her to as large an audiance as possible. I was on her only a fortnight ago sailing past the Ardnamurchan peninsular on her final Hebridean...
