    Of course we have risk assessed it. During the first test train last year, it was tested. Purple lighting have a unit in the brakevan and if necessary, they can turn on a microphone, which will sound through all the speakers throughout the...

    Sorry to hear you taking a bit of flak here @2857Harry I like the insight into planning such an event. Inevitably you can't keep everybody happy. Don't let the haters bring you down.

    I will just place on here a big thankyou to everyone who attended or operated the Branchline Weekend this weekend. I can categorically state it’s been a super weekend, and the only complaints is that it’s been too busy! I mean for a heritage...

    Some great footage of 6024 from a few years back from 10mins 30sec in. This is from an episode of Southern Steam which was first broadcast: 14 Oct 1999. Hard to believe this is over 25 years old! [MEDIA]

    When 6024 came out of service in 2012 (?) a "Rent of workshop space" contract was agreed between the WSR and 6024 Pres Soc so that the society had space to overhaul the locomotive in the workshops at Minehead. This suited both parties as they had...

  11. green five liked Jamessquared's post in the thread 6024 King Edward 1.

    As others have suggested, I suspect there are three sides to this story. On the one hand, I can totally understand the argument that says “if LSL were happy with the work, why would they spend considerable sums re-doing it?” But I’d be less...
