    Let's hope there's some rain then!

    Post on SVR Diesels Facebook page shows services delayed due to leaves on the line at Hampton Loade. Said leaves are still attached to the tree!

    Maybe the various hosepipe bans and the steam ban due to dry vegetation shouldn't be over-conflated. At first glance they are in response to the current severe drought, and that is what is being reported in the media, but our modern media don't...

    Yes indeed. Best not to forget that unique style, one off in the class, 2-10-2 South African Class 20 steam loco. Built in SA 1935 and converted to a condensing loco with a type CL condensing tender in 1950. Sadly scrapped in 1961 . It is said...

    That is very poor from RTC - they should be aware the chances of that being steam hauled are practically non existent. How about accept reality and hire a pair 20s or 37s and try and make something of a situation nobody can do anything about?...

  7. green five a plăcut postul lui LittleRedTrain în subiectul RTC 2026.

    Received the following in an e-mail from RTC today: [ATTACH] I'd say this sails very close to the edge of 'mis-selling' given that the chances of steam haulage are, barring a major monsoon, slim to nil, and the vintage trams haven't been running...

  8. green five a plăcut postul lui MuzTrem în subiectul 6024 King Edward 1.

    With its cut-down boiler mountings and slimline cylinders, 6024's appearance is no longer 'authentic' for any part of its working life. So, arguably, it really doesn't matter what colour they paint it now...

    If you look at Belmond's extensive programme of 2026 British Pullman trips you will see that, as normal, the steam ones with Clan Line are in a minority. However, they have planned for steam to operate primarily in the early and late season with...

    Even replacing by diesel may not be straight forward as volunteers often book long in advance and those volunteers may only be passed for steam and not diesel. With the steam ban operating departments are at short notice having to find crews...

    Bo'ness still steam as well. I was there on Thursday. Spent last week in Linlithgow and it rained every day. Thick green grass on the fields as well, I'd forgotten what green grass looked like!

    MSLR have been diesel only for a couple of weekends now, so you were lucky to get steam. 60007 has also lost several trips, and I can't see it working any of the Kingswear trips before it heads to the Moors in a little over a month's time. Even...

    You are right - this is becoming a very real concern. I suspect that many railway managements will now quietly be making contingency plans in case they are unable to go ahead with planned autumn steam galas. I suppose the main options are...

    The Government needs to appoint a minister for drought - that worked last time! (Then we can all complain about the heavy flooding we will inevitably be getting …) Tom
