Not to challenge but just for clarification, how do you define "stronger"? The TE is more than a Black 5's by virtue of the smaller wheels, but only marginally. Anyway I look forward to a ride.

The subtitles are auto-generated by YouTube (if you have the "CC" button clicked) - so not the fault of the producer of the video. For an automatic system they are quite good, but from time to time you do see such howlers as you noticed! Tom

Just looking back at the Tornado loadings during this visit I'm wondering whether there was opportunity to try something different. Apologies if this has been mentioned already but I haven't waded through every post I've missed over the last few...

If you travel to the North York Moors by road from various directions you will see the brown tourist attraction signs. They don’t point the direction to the NYMR, they simply say ‘Steam Railway’. The NYMR must have agreed that wording when they...

They do want to travel behind a steam locomotive but the lack of flexibility in the 60163 only fares, a return trip that doesn't amount to a full day out or offer Whitby as an option or a hefty premium close to a full line rover they'd have to...
