    Not quite the spectacular assent from April 2024, but a fine effort on Upton Scudamore from (I assume) a standing start from Westbury [ATTACH]

    You have to be in (on) it to win it as they say. So far today it has been a win. OK, there was a nudge up towards Tisbury as we had to get out of the way but that was more or less it in my view. Honiton was pure steam so I am reliably told and...

    Honiton Bank. The place to be. I hope the videos show that this was the crews at both ends of the train letting Clan Line do what it does best. 35 up the bank and 34 through the tunnel.

    It was a rather early (4.30am) alarm for me to hop on the train from the outer suburbs to Wandsworth Road (retracing a route I once regularly did for work, and at a similar time too), from where I wandered round to the high rise car park by the...

    Spare a thought for the footplate crews who will be sweating their knackers off, especially Monday !

    A post on Facebook shows that 6989 Wightwick Hall has arrived at the railway for boiler repairs. I wonder if the railway will be able to operate the current Harry Potter loco on some service trains as a thank you gesture before it leaves for...

    Well I'm not commenting on the rights and wrongs either only to say that I've seen photographs of the problem areas of the boiler and "not for the foreseeable future" is a fair assessment.

    Yes John, it's great that a Merchant Navy Pacific is heading to the W of E out of Waterloo again. And of course I support it and hope all goes really well - see my earlier post repeated above. But it's not up to the schedule of just a few...

    Not my pic, but would appear to be confirmation that 5110 has been overhauled (with thanks to @Breva for highlighting the link). https://www.reddit.com/r/uktrains/comments/1tiiu0r/spotted_lms_stanier_class_5_being_transported/

    The lack of AWS magnet under the front certainly suggests that and ties in with other reports. I hope it does get the kit fitted in time for 2028, as it would make a very special recreation of 1T57 if it was able to run with 70013 and 44871 on a...

    An announcement that was kept pretty decently under wraps. Well done to the GWSR crowd for pulling off what might be the most eyebrow raising gala guest of the year! Note also, no airbrakes.
