    I have reread this anecdote several times and not sure if it is aimed at me or a more general threat / comment? Either way I am not sure I like that it has come from a moderator and feel I need to respond. Given this is a discussion / opinion...

    It is indeed a shame the situation with Scots Guardsman. Speaking for myself here if I were WCR and didn't wish to air brake the loco I would do everything in my power to get the loco to visit heritage lines, not just so people can enjoy but more...

    Maisie came from a rescue centre and had previously been a stray, she was underweight and needed "building up". The staff at the rescue centre gave us a feeding plan now, 5 months later, she has been "built up" a little too much and is starting...

    That may be true, but it's not a lot of use to West Coast at the moment, as it can't operate revenue earning trains, until such time as they either CDL fit their MK1 rakes or fit it with air braking equipment to enable it to power the stock that...

    46115 has been greatly missed, it's a damn fine machine.

    I can't be the only one thinking 'what a waste' am I? Hope all goes well and look forward to seeing her on the SVR - love this loco.

  8. green five liked Jamessquared's post in the thread Mid Hants Railway Operational Matters.

    To be fair, it’s very clearly flagged by the OP as Facebook, and very clearly flagged that it may not work for everyone. So I don’t know what else you expect - if you don’t like Facebook, you don’t have to follow the link. The tone of your post...

    There is a magnificent video on Facebook of 35005 lifting the RAT out of Ropley in a very spirited performance on Saturday night but I don't know if this link below works for everyone. If it does turn up the volume and enjoy!...

    I suppose re: hire of a locomotive. It depends on 34007 being finished next year. I did read that Riley's were still on target to complete their part of the contract on time. How long after that to fit out and complete the rest of the locomotive...
