أعجب Mick45305 بمشاركة Robin' في موضوع Vintage Trains 2026.
Email received from Vintage Trains: Thank you for booking on The Mayflower. You may be aware that, due to the recent heatwaves and lack of rain, there is currently a national ban on steam locomotives operating on the main line. If the steam ban...

5Z37 Carnforth - Fort William in the system for Tuesday morning. Presumably a Jacobite set-swap. Then on Wednesday, there's another Crewe LSL - Carnforth Steamtown ECS round-trip, so looks like another steam loco on test and being turned and...

It doesnt look like it will be active for the 60th anniversary of its final BR passenger turn, the 20.50 Preston - Blackpool on 3/8/68. This was the penultimate scheduled steam passenger working - and I was on it:D. What a pity. Peter

Worth noting that the people who complain about over interference from Government and 'Nanny State', are often the first ones to complain about lack of Government action and public information when something goes wrong.. 'Common Sense', so often...

Well while much of the UK sweltered on the hottest day of the current heatwave here is Thursday afternoons Jacobite standing in a very wet Arisaig - no steam ban here:). At 21-22 degrees it was about 15 degrees cooler than some of the hottest...

أعجب Mick45305 بمشاركة John Petley' في موضوع Saphos Trains 2026.
I must take my hat off to the signalmen who are responsible for the Brighton Man Line and East Sussex Coast lines. Today, a Statesman charter train was due to run from Derby to Eastbourne for the air show. By the time I checked Real Time Trains...

This was the first time the system has been used on a broad basis and quite right too. Apparently issued at the request of the emergency services. It might drum some sense into those who seem completely oblivious to the danger, like the idiots...

Mini mid month update! The cylinder boring has begun! With a number of engines requiring cylinder boring LMS have acquired their own kit to carry out operations in house. The cylinders on a std 4 mogul start at 17.5 inches and with only 11 years...

Indeed, the advance notification & offer to VT shareholders was gratefully received and acted upon! Looking forward to the 8th November as never did get behind the Stanier Mogul on the mainline in its previous stint.

أعجب Mick45305 بمشاركة MuzTrem' في موضوع 6024 King Edward 1.
With its cut-down boiler mountings and slimline cylinders, 6024's appearance is no longer 'authentic' for any part of its working life. So, arguably, it really doesn't matter what colour they paint it now...

A lot of good points in there. To take the Bluebell as an example, we have something like 30 drivers, but only around half of them have diesel competence of some kind. Moreover, for the class 33 and class 201 that had generally lapsed at the...
