What do you think of the scene when Francis got a whiteboard out., and in a fine felt tip pen, listed every single class 37 by number? He then went on to outline them all, with a little cameo of each, to Chris , who was nodding off? Francis, no...

Breva liked SECR 65's post in the thread North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.
Repton is an express passenger engine built for the Hastings Line. Long, heavy trains, at fast speeds. It's a powerful engine, especially for such a narrow loading gauge. But as soon as you take it backwards up a steep hill at 25mph, it can't do...

Breva liked Drewry Car's post in the thread North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.
Sort of, as it was created by predictive text. Definitely guilty as charged though! The disconcerting issue for me are the three typical responses to corrections.. "Does it matter?" "Language evolves" "Don't be such a Grammar N**i" In other...

Yes, things went quite well on Monday, my freight train was always with 10 minutes of its timetable. I like the 'double track' shot in the cutting at Toddington. Wish it was double track out of the station too, for some weird reason it becomes...

Well, what can I say? Epically challenging I think best sums it up. Over the course of the weekend, we had several heat-related medical emergencies including one member of crew who, whilst doing ok, is still not at all well, and a missing...

An emergency timetable for today has been posted on the 'Cotswold Festival of Steam' Facebook page (but can't find it on the official GWSR page or website. Hopefully it's legit.) https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1Dh83grdhU/ ****EMERGENCY...
