DavidW liked acorb's post in the thread Most interesting short heritage line..
I should really give a shout out to the guys at Blaenavon. It has extended, but still falls into the short category at a couple of miles. That 2 miles though is mainly on a ferocious gradient and runs through a starkly beautiful, post industrial,...

[ATTACH]Just in case anyone forgot what steam was on the NYMR, 80136 has been out on test to Goathland today. Steam should *hopefully* be returning on Saturday to Whitby for now, unsure about the other 18 miles

DavidW liked The Gricing Owl's post in the thread Bluebell Railway General Discussion.
A rather tiring day at the Bluebell today, it's this getting older nonsense I think! But a very worthwhile day. Train loadings looked good as far as I could see, and I doubt there were many places unsold on the Golden Arrow lunch train. I did...

DavidW liked Duty Druid's post in the thread Mid Hants Railway Operational Matters.
And then there were Three........ (with apologies to Genesis! :rolleyes::)) After last weeks reasonable turnout atop the hill, it would seem most cried off from taming the troublesome trucks atop the hill, using a bank holiday as an...

DavidW liked brennan's post in the thread Plym valley extension.
Occasionally industrial types had one pump and one injector. This would have been at the request of the customer. A steam pump is far more complicated as a mechanical device than an injector. Some use axle driven pumps which are simpler. Small...

DavidW liked Kingscross's post in the thread Plym valley extension.
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] I called in at the Plym Valley Railway today after a stop overnight in Plymouth yesterday. It’s very charming, clearly unlikely to ever be a Premier League line but it was a lot tidier than when I last saw it eight years ago. A...

DavidW replied to the thread Wensleydale Railway Matters.
Not sure to be honest they were built to work with a trailer car so I’d say at least one coach possibly 2 at a push. Unless anyone knows different there are currently no plans to re livery the 33 although I did joke about painting it in mainline...
