Well plenty of Enthusiasts (myself included) are able to cope with the fact that location is not always possible, and enjoy seeing a loco decked out with a headboard it would have carried in pre-preservation days to give a sense of what would...

Dan Hill liked WSR_6960's post in the thread West Somerset Railway General Discussion.
Thank you ! It's been quite difficult to keep this under wraps for the past few months, but I'm sure you'll agree that it's been worth the wait ! We wanted to avoid dribs and drabs of poor quality images in various stages of sanding down,...

Dan Hill replied to the thread Llangollen Railway.
I think it's start of what could be quite interesting trend of railways and Comic Cons/Pop Culture crossing over. The Bluebell have really started to get on board with it anyway. They did a Comic Event last year with Peter Davison as the main...

Saturday saw me and a mate make the long trek for our first ever Bluebell gala. We were very impressed. Great railway, friendly staff and a cracking selection of locos, with plenty of noise. Wonderful selection of rolling stock too. The gala ran...

Dan Hill liked Big Al's post in the thread Bluebell Railway | Spring Steam Gala | 20th-22nd March 2026.
Visited today with one main focus - Newington/32646/W8 Freshwater. (Do these locos hold the record for multiple identities?) Last saw Freshwater on a plinth outside a pub on Hayling Island so this was a long overdue coming together of man and...

A few from me too.... Again a very well organised gala from the Bluebell with everything running just about on schedule as we have come to expect! Many thanks to all. I thought the railway was well patronised but not rammed like the last couple...

A few from me from earlier today. Spent most of the day behind 75069 (and 73082) and the Terriers. The 1pm Terrier shuttle to HK was a good run with some nice noise. The crew of 75069 prior to its first run seemed to pay a touching tribute to a...

There was only one photo I really wanted today, and that was 75069+73082 on the 14.00 ex S Park. In the end my short visit got me three photos. It was a close run thing getting there in time and at the right location for the 14.00 SP. I was...
