In the "wouldn't it be nice" category would be a small/medium tender engine. I always liked the Norwegian 2-6-0. Incidentally, the late John Miller (one time K&ESR chairman) had back of envelope sketches for Austerity conversions to a 0-6-0...

I wholly agree that the K&ESR does need larger locos and appreciate that the GWR tanks are probably ideal... at the same time, as I have commented before, I'd be sorry to see the motive power on this route become almost entirely Swindon-built......

A few images from the four days which of course included the preview day. Not all my plans worked. The failure of 257 Squadron meant my plans for two double headed Bulleid rides to Norden became one that was Manston & D6515. Looking like the next...

The shareholders of Boscastle Locomotive Ltd received excellent news recently that there has been a full and final settlement of the insurance claim following the theft of parts three years ago. It is said that this will cover about 90% of the...

WSR Galas hit the ground running way back in March 1996 with the S&D 30 event and haven't missed a beat since. Releasing the pigeons at Washford was a nice touch at that event. Were they carried aboard the GWR Siphon? Can't remember now.

I am hoping 9129 will stay in use beyond the extension. It's ideal for things like getting forestry teams to work sites, where presently we have to use a DMU.

Looks like the last York Dalesman tomorrow is also definitely diesel-hauled. Not now calling at Hellifield goods loops. https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:U86164/2026-09-15/detailed A sad end to the summer season ☹️☹️

You couldn't make it up. After over 2 months without main line steam, Clangmere fails again, and on a day with perfect conditions up on the S&C. The tour went forward with 37 706 and I was waiting for it by Salt Lake Cottages....

The original post was definitely clumsy and unfair, but I agree with Sidmouth's sentiment that 'gala season' creates tough competition. My ideal diary for the next 8 weeks includes the SVR steam gala, NYMR steam gala, Blaenavon steam gala, WSR...
