A great day out with 7029, a shame it didn't make it up the Valley but good to see it on the turntable at Kiddy. For the return up Old Hill, 7029 produced a sure footed climb with just the one audible slip. Very much a cautious climb given the...

I fear that 2026 has been a bad financial year for many of our heritage railways, particularly those who had to suspend steam operations for prolonged periods during the hot summer and drought. More broadly, the inflated prices for coal and...

4150 seems a very appropriate choice for a train celebrating volunteers given the many hours that have gone into her restoration. Also you now have one of the first locos to enter preservation (7029) and the latest to return to steam (4150).

I bet you wouldn't have even swapped your footplate trip for a sumptuous meal in one of the Pullman cars!

[ATTACH] "Wightwick Hall" was well liked by crews even if the trains were not full. The RAT on Saturday was a bit spooky!

One thing that isn't covered at all, of course, is the herculean effort that the NELPG team, led by he indefatigable Maurice Burns, put into getting the loco repaired and back out on the main line. Back then it was hard, but would it even be...

Wasn't another contributing factor the fact that the boiler had been overfilled, and when the initial slip happened, water was drawn into the steam pipe? That meant that the regulator was even more difficult to close, and, of course, that water...

As a youngster, the vantage point that the clip was taken from was a regular haunt for myself and brother. In the xmas of the same year we were at Tyseley, doing a driver experience with Bob Meanley and Roland Kennington. Roland came onto the...

If people don't view the footage or don't know about what happened then we as a movement will just forget its significance as an event. There is nothing morbid about learning from past mistakes to avoid a repeat in the future. The railway has...

I’m not going to like that. In fact I’m not going to watch it either.

It were a good day atop the hill yesterday, much needed by Muggin's 'Ere & Me Oppo after a tough week at work! :) With seven in attendance, Me Oppo took two of the lads to give the running rake the once over as it's out to play next week. ;):)...
