In the war my Father travelled over the Wolds to Bridlington behind a D49. He told me the train was 17 vehicles (not all bogie coaches). He told me that at some of the stations he wondered if they would ever get going again. Sent from my...

D49’s were indeed regular performers. The big difference was that the maximum load without assistance was five coaches and that included B1’s and Black 5’s. Most trains would be less than that.

Given good rail conditions, Repton will drag 7 up the hill to Goathland in both directions. However, any reduction in adhesive ratio becomes a problem. In theory, you need 13,538 lbf darawbar pull to drag 7 full coaches up the 1 in 49 and 6,648...

Absolutely stunning. I do hope there will be an opportunity to see it running with Caledonia before the latter goes out of ticket.

I think enough has been said about the weekend by now, we had three days of boiling in trains and generally enjoyed it all. I think it was over ambitious but had it come off everyone would have been full of praise for one of the best ever galas....

In another life before TV fame ! For no other reason than I took this almost 42 years ago to the day on 26/5/84 (some here may find that week/end familiar). 37025 approaching the last token exchange at Lentran before arriving at Inverness with a...

Repton is an express passenger engine built for the Hastings Line. Long, heavy trains, at fast speeds. It's a powerful engine, especially for such a narrow loading gauge. But as soon as you take it backwards up a steep hill at 25mph, it can't do...

Once part of Collection X the restoration of MNR No.16 (later IMR F37) approaches completion and it was out for a test run yesterday evening. M.N.Ry. No.16 was built in 1899 by Hurst-Nelson of Motherwell and is one of only two bogie carriages...

Yes - a fine sight, according to the stills and vids I have seen! I was sorry to miss it, but was still in hospital. 'Blyth' will be a really good ambassador for the idea of restoring the railway (still opposed by many locals). James

I think it's quite clear from the 2019 policy and from Anthony's earlier comments that in 2019 NRM did not have a definitive answer to that question but that GA was one of only 3 locos which "could realistically be considered for main line...

So pleased to hear that you are to retain the swing out seats, so much a feature of colonial narrow gauge railways. One of the most surreal "footplate rides" I ever had was on a railtour in Pakistan in 1990. Sitting on said seat, swung out,...
