    I walked past when she was heading to the bridge, assumed she was just under test. Neat!

    Yes 4277 did a Vintage Trains tour out of Paignton 12 years ago, it's still in the sectional appendix too that P&D locos can use the mainline station [MEDIA]

    It certainly is: at Yarwell Junction... [ATTACH] ... and at PNVR. [ATTACH]

    I find it quite amazing to think that in the 59th Anniversary week of the End of Southern Steam there are no less than four Bullied Pacifics at large on the national network at present. We had 35028 out yesterday, 34046 today with 34028 and 34067...

    You mean like this? It ain't going to happen. The driver looking out of the cab is the well known Bert Hooker btw [ATTACH]

    Indeed - although for one run I would love it if '28 could be allowed to be dirty and 'authentic'. Most 'normal' (and fare-paying!) passengers love its immaculate presentation, of course, and I suppose with the coaches used now, nothing can be...

    Best comment so far. When I walked round Nine Elms on 10th July 67 with some engines still showing pressure on the gauge there was no way would I have thought we would be where we are now. Well done to NR, RTC and MNLPS for making it happen in...

    Despite being pushed by a 47 and sitting in an air conditioned coach all day and only having just over an hour at Weymouth I felt it was as good as it was ever going to be. Who of those that can remember 9th July 1967 would believed on 9thJuly...

    This conversation about steam vs diesel has reminded me of two things (not particularly linked or related to each other): On that NYMR TV programme a fair while back, one of the episodes (or it might even be in the intro) has a section of...

    Lack of trains and lack of facilities won't help. Miss your train and can be a two or three hour wait for the next one. Is it promoted that much these days? Dalby Forest a few miles away offers much more for people who want to walk around a...

    Steam sells. It's a vital USP of the NYMR. I've seen people turn away when they find out it's not Steam haulage. The present timetable is littered with Ds and ds, how does that look? The diesels themselves are class 37s and a 47, two in BR...

    Precisely and understandably so if you've paid £45k for your ticket. If you've paid £450 though, you might have to listen to a diesel .....

    Well, at least we know that tucking a diesel behind the steam loco is what LSL does, as per this video. [MEDIA]
