Nice, but sounds like valve settings could do with a tweak?

Sheff liked The Green Howards's post in the thread BR Standard class 6 No. 72010 'Hengist' and Clan Discussion Thread.
Thanks for the pictures, @Sheff. I would have loved to have gone yesterday but three 12 hour shifts immediately prior, all finishing well after midnight with a long drive home after each left me too knackered to visit...

Great turn out for the Clan Hengist / B17 Sandringham open day yesterday, car parks full to overflowing. Lots more stands there too, inc George V, Gowrie, GCR gap viaduct model, and Advanced Steam’s 10.25in Revolution which showcased some really...

Sheff liked Wozzy18's post in the thread Sandringham New Build.
A few quick photos from yesterday's Open Day at Diamond Engineering. A very successful day with LOTS of new members joining the B17 Steam Locomotive Trust and considerable cash in the donation tin in memory of our late Chairman, Brian Hall....

Sheff liked FearOfManchester's post in the thread Peak Rail General Discussion.
The VLR scheme is very much still in play, there are very few things peak rail can do with the reach and resources they have, what they can do is establish a visible presence on the ground in buxton, a lot of things are changing in the town and...

Sheff liked Kirk Oswald's post in the thread Peak Rail General Discussion.
Sad but true. I've lost count of the number of relaunches of this proposal. If a single mile of track had actually been built every time it's been resurrected they wouldn't just have reached Buxton by now - they would have reached Manchester...

The re-worked foundation stones arrived at Darley dale recently, here are the uncovered original plinths for the uprights, in need of some attention, it’s all happening this year finally. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]

Sheff liked Pymothy's post in the thread North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.
We left the lead 37 at Goathland presumably to help work the diner back. No issue with the loco failure, as I say I accept these things happen, totally understandable.To leave a packed train standing for 25 minutes without a single person...

Sheff liked Jamessquared's post in the thread North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.
I think the bit I have put in bold is absolutely correct. Many of the people in the senior trustee / director positions started as volunteers and then became directors - rather than the other way round. So I think that instills a passion for the...

Sheff liked Obstruction Danger's post in the thread North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.
The Grosmont gossip is that the £450 project manager has walked off the job and said that the job is not possible, not sure if that means he can’t work in that kind of place or if he means the physical job can’t be done but I’m very worried for...

Sheff liked Kirk Oswald's post in the thread North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.
This "borrowed" from another forum, with their permission. "Well here we are at the Acadamy Awards in star-spangled Las Pickering. The cars of the stars are gathering by the red carpet because the gates to the car park seem to be obstructed by...

Sheff liked torgormaig's post in the thread North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.
I come back to this thread with an increasingly heavy heart having just enjoyed reading (something you can't say about the totally uninspiring Moorsline these days) the excellent monthly Bluebell Times, produced and edited by our very own Tom...
