    I have seen comments elsewhere that the GCR is short of operational locos at the moment and that the Standard Five may not be available. Sent from my XQ-BT52 using Tapatalk

    Timetabling issues aside, a lovely two days on this most scenic of lines. A great atmosphere, one of the friendliest gala's I've been to! Well done to those who got 1369 back up and running this morning. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]...

    I get that there are other priorities than to write a timetable but to post on the webpage saying "it will be out 3 weeks before the event" and we are now less than 2 weeks away and still no timetable is a little bit embarrassing to be honest in...

    70000 storming through Lancaster yesterday. Sadly the forecast sunny day didn’t materialise until well after she passed and in spite of audibly working hard, there was no sign of that effort at the chimney. On a brighter note, the pub on P3 was...

    Looks like it ran north to Tebay to reverse as 0C48, now heading south as 5Z70 https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:66862/2026-04-09/detailed

    It just used the standard OC48 path so they simply terminated the path at Oxenholme. Brit due to return to Crewe

    Good to see it coming on steadily. I can't wait to see it out and about, not because I particularly admire the little loco but because work can then start in earnest on 488 (or 30583 as the forum's favourite Owl would prefer). Roll on the return...

    We all know what went wrong but I think it's worth noting that everything was definitely going very much 'right' from the outset and clearly the crew of Chris Page and Jack Gresty were planning on putting on a great show. Leaving Crewe with 8 on...

    Before the problems developed. 70000 at Moore Lane. Warming air meant a thin exhaust, the once clear embankment towards the far bridge is quickly disappearing behind the re-growing trees. [ATTACH]

    I've left my only comment about this trip till after the failure chunter. This was a brilliant trip to drive from Hampshire to Milton Keynes for. It was also a brilliant run with 70000 until it failed. In 2026 I'll buy that! And yes, it is the...

    big end has been the achiles heel of 70000 since her return to the mainline as far back as 1991. 70013 never seemed to have a problem in the same way
