    I see I photo there from Alasdair Stewart - his name rings a bell - maybe WHR?

    25NC 3441 blasting up the grades near Perdevlei, between De Aar and the summit at Behrshoek on 28 July 1991. Not that long after a freezing dawn in the wonderful Karoo region. A frame grabbed from a low res MPEG4 digitisation of a Hi-8 camera...

    In terms of Gresley 3 cylinder locos I’ve had the pleasure of 60007, 60009, 60800 and 61994, all of which were good machines. That leaves 60019 and 60103 still to be underlined. :) An A3 is the only one of the ‘A’s I’ve not had the pleasure of...

    Surely dismantling something to build something else is in the DNA of the GWR. Dukedogs a good example.

    Yes, I was exaggerating somewhat. People slagging off Gresley’s gear is a bit of a pet peeve of mine I’m afraid. Is it just A4’s though, have you oiled up FS? Can you reach the con rod cups from the running plate? Properly maintained imho it’s a...

    …. and yet even today his A4s continue to put in remarkable performances on the mainline and the crews don’t have to crawl around inside the frames to prep the loco, unlike those of some other designers locos I could mention.

    I have heard a few tales regarding things that HIT have tried to pull over the years. It's crazy, they have managed to pretty much kill the goose with the golden egg by failing to recognise the importance that the live stuff has with regard to...

    From my house just south of Leeds at 15:50 on a normal working Tuesday, Pickering is 70 minutes whilst the ELR station at Bury is 99 minutes. But the point is absolutely valid, that there's a section of West Yorkshire where they're in...

    I did quite a lot of my photography, and later on my filming, in winter pre-dawns in the Northern Karoo. Fabulous low light with a variety of sky colours as they developed before sun rise, to some extent depending on where distant winds had...
