    Reportedly Inter City has redated the tour & all those with tickets yesterday are transferred to the new date or can have a full refund. Seems very fair.

    August 2026 Construction Update Smokebox: Visibly, not a lot has changed and it still looks the same as at this year’s Open Day. But in the background, we have now received five rolled plates from Barnshaws (who made the wrapper) consisting of...

  5. Mick45305 нравится сообщение Sidmouth в теме 35025 Brocklebank Line.

    A lot of work was done on 35025 at Loughborough, which eventually stalled and I think the setback of the parts theft has then knocked it further . I wonder whether and especially with SLL now gaining main line experience there may be some cross...

  6. Mick45305 нравится сообщение Britfoamer в теме Fire Risk.

    As you can probably see from the weather forecast, up here in the North West/Lancashire we got a couple inches of rain last night, enough to refill my 210 litre water butt in the back garden. The sun disappeared around tea time and it has...

  7. Mick45305 нравится сообщение John Petley в теме 35025 Brocklebank Line.

    I'm another small shareholder in SLL and I too support this move. The MNLPS has said in the past that one loco is quite enough, but SLL said in the past that it wasn't interested in main line running. Being willing to re-think as circumstances...

  8. Mick45305 нравится сообщение Flying Phil в теме 35025 Brocklebank Line.

    There is news about 35025, as SLL shareholders are being asked to approve the transfer of Brocklebank Line to the Merchant Navy Locomotive Preservation Society (they own and run "Clan Line"). As 35025 had fallen behind both Sidmouth and Sir...

  9. Mick45305 нравится сообщение Spamcan81 в теме Bulleid Pacifics - Past or Present.

    I've been mightily entertained by wibble on another forum where the matter of 34007's tender was being discussed. All manner of solutions were being proposed but nobody ever mentioned the possibility of 34081's tender being the answer. A few...

    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...

  11. Mick45305 нравится сообщение Rander в теме LE movements, ECS and test runs 2026.

    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

    And here it is leaving Preston that night. I was on the very last one - to Liverpool with 45318. [ATTACH]

    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...
