My pic of 5043 Earl of Mount Edgcumbe at Pontefract Baghill on the outward leg of the Cathedrals Express to Newcastle. Me and my friend Colin boarded the tour at Tamworth. It was an enjoyable day out. [ATTACH] Davo 56F

silversteellady liked brennan's post in the thread South Devon Mixed Traction weekend 20 & 21 June.
I went yesterday. I think the TKh is best suited to shunting a steel works! To be honest, the Buckfastleigh site is looking in a run down condition. I understand that a major spruce up is planned. A pity nobody can be found to slap some grease...

silversteellady liked James McLeish's post in the thread Doncaster Works open day June 2026.
Some footage covering the event and the various locomotives on display. Was a great day overall, and was certainly a nice surprise to have Caroline offering rides throughout the day. [MEDIA]

I was on Camelot today, and it was fairly hot, though not unbearable - though next week will be worse. An interesting point about open-cabbed locos, particularly 65, but I suspect the same applies to 2999 (I haven't been on it). When it is very...

silversteellady liked SECR 65's post in the thread Bluebell Railway General Discussion.
The loco situation is tight in the short term: 34059, 2999, 72 are available with not conditions to my knowledge. 65 clearly works but was (as of my latest info from a while back) due a washout yesterday. Therefore, it may be close to 28 days as...

silversteellady liked Oswald T Wistle's post in the thread WCME & CME 2026.
It was forecast to be a sunny afternoon with light winds, it was to be Tangmere (again) and today Oswald was going to Langho. Now I'm not fond of Langho (station) with its narrow platforms but today I was not going to the station, I was going to...

The problem is that lorry owners wont pay for specialist HGV sat navs so drivers use their own phones

Satnav is often a contributory cause of bridge strikes, when drivers rely on it instead of planning their routes. There is a long discussion on railforums.co.uk following the recent strike near Bedworth on the WCML.

silversteellady liked The_Rail_WAy's post in the thread Ribble Steam Railway.
I always feel it is a sham the potential extension of 1.5 mile further was never put into fruition as the line is very short. It would be fantastic if, even if only occasion, runs could be made across Strand Road and as far as possible towards...

The Y14 should be entering the works shorty as the team that worked on the N2 will now work on the Y14. Sent from my SM-A266B using Tapatalk
