    @Flying Phil I suspect you're right. GCR were announced as new custodians to overhaul and run 70013 (including main line certification) after the last ticket expired, but no financial arrangements were mentioned and, as far as I know, there has...

    What about 70013 - how is the overhaul being funded?

    We're really looking forward to getting Charwelton back, just to see how well she performs now. She has limped on with a pretty much life expired cylinder block for a long time.

    Hi Steve. The old Manning Wardle valves were sadly cream crackered. The wonderful John Dunn performed his usual machining magic on some GWR valve casting SVR had in stock and made available to us. We were told GWR steam valves are the bees...

    Wasn't sure where to put this so resurrected this very old thread(!), but I found this very interesting - a proper marriage of 19th and 21st century technology! *ignore the thumbnail of IoM railway, that would be something!! [MEDIA]

    I think heritage railways need to consider the struggles of churches, where the requirements for training (and especially online training) are having a significant impact on peoples' willingness to volunteer. That said, it is also fair to note...

    I think the fact that WC have fitted more early MK2 stock with CDL and sent a full rake to Scotland shows great progress and a clear intention. I also think that it’s a good train to send as it’s air only so works well with the 5s. I’m glad to...

    I was an engineer in the chemical industry all my working life and firstly for our sins they were always referred to as vacuum pumps, be they recip, liquid ring or whatever. However, in design and specification, we always used absolute pressure...

    All style and no substance. Just right for the punters it's aimed at. And it's another former BB car with most of its real history stripped out for today's champagne and canapes set. Yes, I see the irony in that comment, but it would be nice if...
