    An update on loco 80104 thanks to David Ensor on Facebook. <BJ> ''80104 is now in Herston Works - progress is on many fronts, large amounts of cleaning and needle gunning, removal of some items ready for painting, removal of lagging around parts...

    A message from Ian Crowder on Facebook. <BJ> "As the railway's press officer, I have spoken to the Editor and the picture has been taken down. His argument was that it provided geographical context but appreciated that she fell from a road motor...

    I fired 76079 to Whitby on the 13.30 ex Grosmont, then through to Pickering and back to Grosmont on 12/4/2023. On shed it was found that the tubes were leaking yet again. One more attempt was made to expand them and I think it was tried once more...

    I bristle at some activities and expectations of volunteers but having to be prepped for a once in a life time (if ever) event and effectively becoming a line of defence in the war on terror is several steps beyond what should be asked of...

    Unless people have got more used to endless training since I retired in 2012 I found there was much negativity about it (whatever it was) even when people were being paid to do it. It was viewed by most as a box ticking exercise, if online...
