    A considerable amount of investment is going into this event, so please do book your tickets to join the party! It will most certainly be our biggest event post Covid. Well done on securing this particular loco to Bailey, Gala Planning Team Vice...

    It’s had ten years of rail tours. Ten years of merchandise sales. Ten years of visits across the country where preserved railways have lined up as it undoubtedly fills their coffers. It’s been on the royal train, it’s done a slew of photo...

    Lets just enjoy this engine whether it be the mainline or preserved lines and maybe give the NRM a bit of credit for keeping her in steam. She's a wonderful loco and a great ambassador for steam and right now that's exactly what steam needs.

    I always considered 44767 to be a coach better than other Black 5’s in NYMR service.

    I think it’s largely due to the trespass risk is a lot lower when it’s got a diesel on the front. Which is understandable

    The Stephenson link valve gear would give the game away instantly. Either way I’ll take the news with a pinch of salt until any confirmed sightings, but welcome news if 45110’s return is imminent.

    In that case, instead of stirring it up on here, why don't you take it up with the editor of Trackside. He is an SVR volunteer.

    I'm not sure where this view that 45110 was in poor condition has come from. The SVR sold it because of the railway's financial circumstances at the time meaning that there was no viable plan to overhaul it in the near future. Every overhaul of a...

    Indeed, SVR reckoned it was in need of considerable work being a victim of the water treatment issues in the early 2000's. Very pleased to hear this, let's hope it can find some useful employment.

    Thanks Al, if I keep turning up (and I do), just now and again I'll get to witness something a bit special. Back in 2013 48151 brought 13+ a 47 on tick over up the bank and a week later 44932 did similar. Back to Saturday, Riley's certainly set...
