  5. Bluenosejohn liked thb17's post in the thread Oswestry Update.

    Nipped over to the ELR at Heywood this afternoon, I had a couple of items of memorabilia to donate to the railway. Got some shots of 60163 while there before she leaves on Tuesday. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]

    [ATTACH] Lovely day with trains running exceptionally to time (well once I arrived, had to come down from Manchester through the overhead electric chaos). Services seemed a bit lightly loaded outside of peak hours and the Duke's rake, but we'll...

    Each heritage railway has its own niche where it excels, the Bluebell is unsurpassed with its collection of vintage locos and rolling stock. Yesterday's charter with Fenchurch was a good illustration of that. A few results from the day show what...
