Very pleased to see this loco on the way back, the mainline has been missing a King - the ultimate GWR design. There was the disappointment of 6023 becoming heritage line only, & never getting to prove its new chimney draughting arrangement -...

thanks colin and mike for your good wishes. they were very nice coaches indeed - closest you can experience now are the replica pickerings at welshpool. we do have an ambition to build one in the future - but are concerned whether a cleminson...

Saw a photo of 7827 out and about on Friday so decided very last minute to travel down yesterday (Saturday). Due to two late running trains I got to Paignton just as the 1230 service was about to leave, so went to Sands Road LC and saw 7827...

They were both from Newark. The odd thing is, they're really meant to be used to clear the line and 34067 was already off the train and in the down goods loop out of the way. I'm not sure why they were used to drag it all the way back to York.

Maybe that should read "close associate [emoji6]" ...... 34067 was originally owned by Brian Pickett who put it through restoration at Riley's, including fitting of air brake apparatus. Mr Pickett sadly died not long after it returned to steam...

silversteellady liked twr12's post in the thread 60019 Bittern.
I last priced TPWS4, OTMR & GSMR about a year ago. The 3 sets of equipment added up to approx £45k. Allow a few £k for conduit, cables, batteries, battery charger. Labour costs depend on whether it’s done by in house staff, or contractors. In...

silversteellady liked James Hewett's post in the thread FR & WHR & WHHR News.
if the whhr pickering, that's very interesting, providing a new phase in whhr/fr co-operation. i believe that the vor van is currently being worked on quite extensively, so that'd have to be complete for g's farm services for this to happen....

silversteellady liked Dan Hill's post in the thread 6024 King Edward 1.
I think those images appear to come from an account on YouTube, who posted a YouTube short of the loco moving. Glad to see 6024 in steam again. Personally I hope it does end up in matching GWR livery to 5029, because (in my opinion at least) the...

Looks like it. If it is reverting to GWR livery that would be a requirement. What's the small white flag tied to the handrail for?

Prep is all done - weather looks good - station looks exceptionally spruce - so if you are in the area, why not drop by and take a (very short!) ride on this first day of public trains since 1929? Everything at the event is free - including...

It sounded bizarre leaving York with the excursion. It sounded even worse later on leaving York with the thunderbird diesels. The drain cocks were jammed open on other videos I saw of this trip. Sent from my XQ-BT52 using Tapatalk
