    I've dug out a couple of pictures of the Bodiam relay. That was November 1998, it may be slightly different this time. [ATTACH] This is the '7' jig that was used, so you dropped down the 4, then reverse a bit, and then drop the other 3....

    A post on Facebook shows that 6989 Wightwick Hall has arrived at the railway for boiler repairs. I wonder if the railway will be able to operate the current Harry Potter loco on some service trains as a thank you gesture before it leaves for...

    Apologies for the delay in giving an update on construction but I have been out of the country. So I have attached just a few photographs from the recent Open Day with the Hengist Group at Diamond Engineering in Sheffield. They are hopefully...

    It's a bit early for Santa, but.... 4270 was spotted on the move today. Was being moved by the unit that took the 4-SUB car back to Margate.

    The lack of AWS magnet under the front certainly suggests that and ties in with other reports. I hope it does get the kit fitted in time for 2028, as it would make a very special recreation of 1T57 if it was able to run with 70013 and 44871 on a...
