    I find myself in glorious Strathspey next week, can anyone share the loco roster?* Will be there Sunday to Thursday. *(assuming fire risk isn't causing problems in the Cairngorms too..).

    2253 is no doubt a very good investment and will likely pay for itself pretty quickly in this spell of weather. 7 well filled Mk 1s = good income, its how this is replicated, sustained & built upon - but it shows there is demand. What is...

    To be fair I think we all understand the need for diesels to cover when steam fails or dry spells make it dangerous and irresponsible to use steam, particularly through moorland. The reason the NYMR gets a bad rep with them is the excessive use...

    I was just providing an answer to your query where the article doesn't! When the 'journalist' can't even get the day of the incident correct then I wouldn't give much time to the rest. As someone delayed by several hours on the VT Liverpool trip...

    One other piece of good news is that NELPG are planning to stage a special gala on the NYMR, featuring all four of their engines, on 24/25th October - if all goes to plan it will be the first time in 60 years that all four engines have been seen...

    There is zero rain forecasted in the next fortnight. If any rain does fall it will be in the form of isolated showers which will do nothing to alleviate the situation. We are on the verge of a prolonged period of very warm / hot, dry weather -...
