Destinations are a problem. Where do you put the train during the layover? Do you need to turn the loco, and if so, is there anywhere local to do it? York and Carlisle are popular as destinations for that reason, but they're on busy routes so...

Are the windows clean? :) If I lived in the area, that's the sort of trip I think I could convince my other half to go on. Surely that model can't be impossible to replicate elsewhere? Tom

Exactly that. I've not been on a rail tour in this country (have done a few in NZ and Australia) but whenever I look at what the market is offering, I reckon I would have zero chance of persuading Mrs J^2 to travel - and she is minded to like...

I was surprised that a 9F with a relatively light overhaul beat an S15 that had had half the frames replaced by volunteers. It is opaque to me how the decisions get made.

Open balconies on our trip - I’d estimate the speed at about 60mph!

They’ve always interested me, but they’re not easy to operate unless you’ve a convenient source of high pressure hot water available. However, it guess it could be possible to in this day and age to fit electrical immersion heaters and ‘charge’...

I would like to see a category for the most reliable mainline locomotive. Given the mileage they do covering the West Coast programme and being knocked to bits on the Mallaig road currently the winner would have to be one of Riley's Black 5s.

Well weren’t you the lucky one. My dad had no interest what so ever. However, in fairness, ever fortnight he ran me 60 miles up to Haworth on a Friday for the weekend and picked me back up on the Sunday, for two years until I was 17 and passed my...

Speak for yourself, my prime railtouring days were in the SLOA days with my dad and I only turned 50 last year! :D;)

I think the issue is one of credibility as you say, it isn’t a good look. The details should be right because people will naturally question if the details aren’t right what else isn’t. I do worry that if you stack up the paranoia about comments...

Thank you. I’m slightly surprised that the NG15 didn’t scoop the Steam Loco award.
