    We had a bit of shock today when arriving at Swanage to find that 34072 had a broken spring and would not be double-heading with Manston to the River Frome and back. The train was instead hauled by Manston and D6515. Fortunately, the maintenance...

    Don't worry, I won't be freeloading/linesiding, I can do that at Bury with our Spamcan if I feel the need, I was merely trying to inject some mirth into what has been a very difficult season. My money goes into heritage railways/rover tickets, I...

    I've just enjoyed 80 miles of steam haulage today behind Erlestoke Manor at the WSR. It is a superb locomotive and handled the banks with ease. It certainly is a very popular loco with the WSR crews. [BJ]
