[ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] The Atherton Herberton Heritage Railway opens its new track extension to Moomin, this coming Saturday. As you can see from the photos, Moomin is not exactly a bustling metropolis, but is typical of the character of the...

This C17 was the loco that was parked up at Atherton during our visit..... [ATTACH] Having done an online search for that particular loco, I see that it moved on to another site in Queensland about 7 years ago.

No we don't. Ironically when in my 3o year role as Guard at Bitton, we had air only passenger vehicle arrive and it was converted back to vacuum.

silversteellady gefällt cymroglans Beitrag in dem Thema Lavender Line - A good Sunday yesterday.
This is really good news. Although it’s been a while since my last visit, I always loved the atmosphere at Isfield, the demus were also a large part of the attraction! I really must organise a return visit.

silversteellady gefällt burmisters Beitrag in dem Thema Lavender Line - A good Sunday yesterday.
Perhaps it was due to it being a tad cooler but we had a very good Sunday yesterday as regards visitors and secondary spend. Some families stayed several hours riding on the large train and small miniture railway. How were numbers on other...

Two bursts of rain reached parts of Kent in the early hours this morning. My first rain in Mid-Kent since 2 mm on 30 June. So 46 dry days. How much fell here in mid-Kent overnight? My rain gauges didn't quite record 1 mm! Sheerness got circa...

Well, Riley's decided against overhauling 5212 on economic grounds but have committed to restoring 5163 as the "new" third five so that perhaps gives an indication of what relative expense is required to turn 5212 round. Presumably all the main...

This is most certainly a Don't Do This At Home posting! A very much draft double page spread, screen grabbed at very low resolution from one of two 1989 chapters of my South African Steam Loco memoirs book. July. Just about on the border...

It doesnt look like it will be active for the 60th anniversary of its final BR passenger turn, the 20.50 Preston - Blackpool on 3/8/68. This was the penultimate scheduled steam passenger working - and I was on it:D. What a pity. Peter
