Romsey liked Johnb's post in the thread 35028 Clan Line returns: 27/04/24.
It was a test run so things were taken easy at first and gradually the engine was given a bit more, that could be the reason for the easy timings. I don’t think the difficulties in coupling up in Battersea Loop were foreseen but that delay was...

Romsey liked acorb's post in the thread Steam Dreams 2024.
Thanks for this, always good to hear from those on board. For a company that has prided itself on excellent customer service that is a pretty damning post. I hope yesterday was a blip. Reputations can be long earnt and quickly lost.

Romsey liked Will RL's post in the thread 35028 Clan Line returns: 27/04/24.
The timing speed simply shows what's been asked for. I used D1015 as an example as it’s something I can relate to in 35028 also making its return and could share possible understanding. Ref the Western, discussions with the loco owning group and...

The 'timed for' bit has no relationship with the maximum permitted speed of the loco

Romsey liked Rumpole's post in the thread Swanage Railway General Discussion.
People would be surprised how many lineside fires occur in the early spring, when the previous year's dead growth is still on the banks but without new growth coming through yet.

The points from the Up Main to the Up Platform Loop are plain lined due to a defect. Few if any trains are booked and likely to tun via the up fast so it's low priority. Cheers, Neil

Romsey liked The Gricing Owl's post in the thread LE movements, ECS and test runs 2024.
35028 looked and sounded great climbing up towards Bickley Junction this morning. Photos taken whilst standing on tip toes (like a ballerina!) on Blackbrook Bridge, next to where the hobby started for big brother Don and myself. It had left the...

In full agreement there Alan, unfortunately I had to cut it short in Edinburgh but it was another superb Great Britain from the legs I did. Great to be a part of a real success story in what is a trying time for the mainline steam movement....

Romsey liked Gladiator 5076's post in the thread Steam Dreams 2024.
I think you are maybe being somewhat harsh on the station staff. They probably knew very little, if anything more than the passengers. There may have been one or two who did not care, but what did you really expect them to do? I am sure they...
