There is a theory ~(I think it has previously been expressed on here) that Chris Price left the NYMR because his wife wanted to move away from the area - I think there's some truth in that but not for the reasons publicly expounded, I think the...

More track work at Abergwili as the roads expand out of the three way point.

For modellers and the pedantic it isn’t quite right for 76001 that had the earlier type of cab with full footplate longer footplate, no fallplate and handrail up to the cab roof in front of the tender. I don’t know about the Class 4s but their...

Funny the details that some people notice and others don't. For me the give away that this isnt the real 76001 isnt the cab but the Southern lamp brackets on the smokebox door. I believe that this is because 76079 had its last overhaul down south...

Sadly, in my own experience, simply running steam locos up and down does not turn a profit or drive high visitor numbers. To give an example (sorry to keep drifting away from Yorkshire) the busiest I have ever seen Kingscote station on the...

76079 went first to Fort William in 2004 for a private charter over the late May Bank Holiday and then ran a public train the day after. As John says it was then at Fort William in 2008 during the photo charter. On both visits it masqueraded as...

76079 did go up to the WHL in 2008, renumbered as Fort William’s 76001 it took part in the photo charters. It wasn’t a lot of use on the Jacobite as it was restricted to hauling six coaches on the Mallaig Road [ATTACH]

They are great little engines and I would have thought something that would have been useful on the West Highland line. It's good that it has a new home in Scotland. In steam days I remember that they were a regular loco on the summer Saturday...
