    It’s getting on for ten years since 34007 last steamed on the MHR. Looking forward to seeing 34007 back in action again in the near future. Here’s a photo of 34007 Wadebridge back in June 2014 [ATTACH]

    The trip was certainly a big grin from start to finish, Crewe that is, and it was good to put faces to names. Thanks to all those at the line side for the fantastic cover, from Hartford in the morning as an opener, the many lining Shap as the...

    .....and to my mind it knocks on the head this nonsense about 'enthusiasts' and the only future being in high-end dining. And that's before you start talking (again) about the fact that nowadays it's too risky (or just not possible) for steam...

    I would suggest just a big a nod to all at Tyesely too, given they did the vast majority of the work on her overhaul. I do hope there is some freedom to work with other operators other than LSL (as was hinted at by the owners of SNG when they...

    Quite a number of LSL staff were onboard yesterday so I get the impression that this was as much a trip for the staff as the supporters of 71000 plus the wider public. It really was a well managed day by all and the charter seemed to 'slipstream'...

    46/47/48 is not too shabby. In fact it's pretty impressive. Fabulous videos and photo's, many many thanks to all who posted them. Does anybody know who the footplate crews were ?

    First time viewing of the Duke for myself (In one piece and steaming at least), and what a marvel; Almost took our socks off passing through Oxenholme this evening! Here's some video efforts from the day: [MEDIA]a

    Just stepped off the Royal Scot for an alternative run back to Euston that saves over an hour on the charter arrival. No, I'm not anti diesel but I value a time that gets me across London and home. And I enjoyed the morning run to Crewe with a...
