A very good news feature on ITV West Country News this evening regarding the return of steam at the GWSR. Passengers interviewed, all very positive comments. So good to see a return to steam. [BJ]

Although I get the point that a Merchant Navy is a very large loco for operating 5 coach trains, it remains the case that the cheapest loco to operate is the one you have available right now. In other words - 35005 may burn a lot of coal, but the...

I I just hope for all our sakes that there was no VPL…. Around 30 years ago there was a loco owning consortium at the Caledonian Railway Brechin known as the Angus Railway Steam Engineers’ (Yes, there really was, it’s existence was noted in the...

Went along to the Diesels at 65 event on Sunday, so glad this event took place as I was disappointed to miss the Hymek celebration last year due to other commitments. The railway was busy for not quite a full gala event and lots of families...

30065 "Maunsell" has made it's first moves in steam following overhaul. More work still to be done, and no date for entry into traffic as yet.

Took a trip today for the first time and it was a neat little operation. They were holding a beer festival with live music for the bank holiday, with 80078 on the coaching stock putting in a good turn (with some drag racing style starts at...

Well today was a good day. Big Steam returned to Ontario for the first time in many years. The Waterloo Central Railway has returned 1923 Montreal Locomotive Works product Essex Terminal Railway 9 to service. I have seen her before, but never...

Small, yes, but a rather nice piece of genuine GCR architecture. I wonder if the building itself could still be salvaged and relocated, perhaps to the GCR or Quainton? Or is it too far gone now?

I've not seen this article, but the impression I had before was that it was planned to get 41312 in once 75079 is done - I hope so, as, like you say, she's a very popular loco - and my personal favourite of the fleet, hence my avatar!

I just realised I left off 53808. The S & D trust loco is being overhauled at Ropley but there is currently no operating agreement signed to use the loco when it is finished. Hopefully she will fit into the loco strategy plan. She is very at...

I read the article, and was surprised that no mention was made of the Ivatt tank, which I thought is now owned by the railway. It has recently been a mainstay of services, and seems to cope perfectly well with all that is asked of it, but...
