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...

silversteellady liked SG-Canada's post in the thread Canadian Steam: Waterloo Central Railway and Essex Terminal Railway 9.

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...

silversteellady liked 8126's post in the thread Mid Hants Railway Operational Matters.

That is pretty comprehensive, thanks for the summary. I do find it slightly ironic that while the concerns over 35005 being too large have been well aired since before it returned to service, it has also been the most trusted steam loco in high...

That's an interesting run down. Wonder who 73096 sold to?

[ATTACH] There is an interesting article in the latest issue of Heritage Railway which arrived the other day. The six page article is basically an in-depth interview with Rebecca Dalley, the CEO of the railway about the future of the line and...

We've been staying in the area for 10 days or so, managing a 'Mountain Spirit' last Thursday and, due to the weather forecast, taking the 'Snowdonia Star' today from Waunfawr. Whilst the biggest issue last week was slipping on James Spooner...

That’s a great picture. I was thinking when all the roads in Abergwili are done you would be able to get quite the line up photo, will it be 6 roads? Cheers Tom
