Visited yesterday - due to the fire risk the 03 was the motive power for our 4 coach train which ran as far as Llwyfan Cerrig. Apparently it had difficulty reaching 4th gear and we pootled along at about 15mph. At Llwyfan Cerrig the engine...

Johnme101 liked green five's post in the thread Mid-Hants Railway | Autumn Steam Gala | 2nd-4th October 2026.
I think it is a great line up. 6989 will get families attending the event which is good for the railway's finances and future. Okay so the Hall isn't in her correct livery but taking black and white shots will overcome that issue. A shame that...

Johnme101 liked John Petley's post in the thread 35025 Brocklebank Line.
I hope your post and communications with MNLPS members will reassure people such as such as @Steamage (See his post #309). He has raised some perfectly valid points - to which I could add the issue of support crews if both 35025 and 35028 were...

The inspection went as expected and the necessary paperwork is now awaited. When all the necessary confirmations are in place, announcements will be made as and when appropriate.
