An excellent copp and will look forward to seeing it at the valley! There are photos of it at the West Somerset in May 1998, so this may well be the last time it went elsewhere. Either way still getting on for 30 years! [IMG] Image from...

Sadly, we're well aware of that one. Not only faster than the average human but, on one occasion, faster than the combine harvester he was driving, too. That was a long time ago, and fortunately the driver managed to get out. We are really keen...

The critical months are June/July, arable crops are getting towards harvest, grass and scrubland still has the previous year’s die back with the new growth not established enough to dampen any sparks. A fire, particularly in ripened arable crops...

I think “serious financial trouble” is too much, but it is not a secret that for many years the Plc has run at a loss, cushioned by transfers from the Society membership subscriptions and donations. There is no imminent crisis brewing, but...

Some of you must be really bored in this hot weather if all you have to do is raise issues from the past. Move on.

Yes, something has happened! A few years ago weight restrictions were introduced due to rail wear. Those rails have now been replaced so larger locos can run again.

9681 will be our 2nd guest locomotive, courtesy of the DFLG and DFR. A huge thanks to the guys at the DFLG for this who’ve been superb to deal with. 9681 has very rarely left the DFR, perhaps a handful of times in its life at best. Certainly one...

All the Bluebell's locos operational have had spark arresters fitted over the last four or five years as and when they have had spells in the works; and also generally ashpan sprays fitted at major overhauls. The loocs with hopper washpans are...

Like many others we cancelled services last week because of the weather. Back open again now, Haulwen is the current service loco with L150 also available after washout and will probably be out later in July. Moorbarrow has been stopped for...

Another good day today. Equally busy compared to yesterday I would reckon. Guard of the shuttle reported good loadings almost all day, and from what I saw, I would agree. Some lovely shows from Beachy Head today. Time was again well kept for the...

Seems sensible to me that as the gala largely caters for the enthusiasts , for star turn locos to be marketed on specific trains outside the galas for a different market. Jon

The trains I went on were well filled but never any danger of not finding a seat.
