Fred Kerr gefällt Karlhs Beitrag in dem Thema K&WVR Steam Gala 19-22 March 2026.
A fantastic weekend, I managed to visit on Thursday and Saturday so here's my video. For anyone who just wants to hear the castle I suggest jumping to 15:47 where its climbs the bank from Damems, note that the clip starts with it leaving Damems...

Fred Kerr gefällt jamesds Beitrag in dem Thema Embsay and Bolton Abbey Railway Updates.
The problem with alienating one sector of your customers, in this case enthusiasts, is that it limits the resilience of the business. You can be sure that if the line suffered a major infrastructure failure (landslip, bridge etc), they would be...

If you really wanted smoke, the GMA/M locos provided plenty. 4059 at Dwartsvlei in April 1979. ( Be careful how you walk along the cess of char, there may still be some glowing coals .... ) Cheers, Neil

25NC 3441 blasting up the grades near Perdevlei, between De Aar and the summit at Behrshoek on 28 July 1991. Not that long after a freezing dawn in the wonderful Karoo region. A frame grabbed from a low res MPEG4 digitisation of a Hi-8 camera...

Always amazed at the weather in July. Early morn (07:30) Deep-frost on windscreen, 0830 warm enough to wear shorts, 0930 sunbathing at the lineside. On one occasion our group arrived at hotel with dust stained car but overnight rain meant shining...

Fred Kerr antwortete auf das Thema Statfold Barn Spectacle of Steam 7&8 March.
You obviously failed to read @Britfoamers post in which he suggested that the working locos would be "drawn from" that list hence my correction for those who thought the same. Apologies that I failed to mention Hunslet 4524 which was substituting...
