Its each to their own, I am disappointed I didn't get a run behind 1450 (but I did get some miles behind it at the Branchline event). But we all have our preferences and the Clayton is someone's pride and joy just as much as the autotank is. I'm...

Well said I’ll second that especially at short notice imagine what would have happened if a class 50 had been the replacement loco, the Clayton’s were a 1960’s steam era Diesel

I have to respond to the above. I am sure the Diesel Traction Group will be delighted with your feedback - but I must take issue with your use of the word 'neglect'. This loco was completely rebuilt around a decade ago and the volunteers went to...

A good day yesterday. Managed to get a good couple of rides in behind the Duke, and a trip in the 'very bouncy' Pug & Judy show. It was amusing being able to see a clear view of the line from the auto-coach over the *top* of the hauling loco! Was...

The Hall took 1450's turns and the Clayton covered the Hall. Guess it enabled time to prepare the Clayton for use.

Said spring hanger visibly AWOL from where she was (is?) sat in the bay at Kidderminster during the afternoon. Was a bit puzzled when the Hall (which was supposed to be our next loco ex Kidderminster) crossed with us at Bewdley, but no...

Traveled today in coach B (5229). Slightly tighter than normal but having opening toplights and being able to hear ( and smell )the loco is well worth it.Superb performance from Eddystone all day.

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...

Yes, indeed a very good day at the Severn Valley today. I managed the equivalent of a round trip behind The Duke and very good it was too. It's a superb bit of kit and I really must do a mainline trip with it before long. Also got some mileage...

Again overheard, but seemingly from someone in the know..(!)* She's shed a spring hanger bolt and requires a visit to the wheel drop to rectify properly. Hence sadly withdrawn from the event. *if this is complete rubbish feel free to...

Managed over 40 miles behind the Duke today, beautifully handled by the SVR crews - plenty of noise and enthusiasm! Its been a very long time since I last saw it in steam and I can't remember riding behind it before. The trains were VERY well...

Had rather a cracking afternoon on 813 today. Brilliant loco as always. Been an excellent two days so far, and the feedback seems to be positive
