    I'm a nostalgic diesel fan, late 50's and sixties. This is certainly a coup for the organisers. These loco's have only recently passed their acceptance trails and have never hauled passengers in this country. Well done them.

    Well, it's a politician on an election tour - and he's only promising "a 'scoping exercise' which would examine the feasibility of reconnecting the rail line", at that. Noel

    Even though the weather was dreary at times didn't stop us enjoying ourselves. Three days of rovers and half day on Monday at Minehead before we had to leave for the 5 hour trip back north. Time keeping left a little to be desired, but not a...

    It never comes as a surprise, as every previous gala I had a really enjoyable time on Friday, fantastic breakfast (again) on the first train out of BL, enjoyed looking around the stalls at Minehead, chatting with station staff at Dunster and...

    If you really wanted smoke, the GMA/M locos provided plenty. 4059 at Dwartsvlei in April 1979. ( Be careful how you walk along the cess of char, there may still be some glowing coals .... ) Cheers, Neil

    June 1990 and I think this is possibly the first time I filmed a 25NC, in this case 25NC 3432 on a complete container train. The 4-8-4 is heading through the slightly less semi-arid Karoo as it approaches Heuningneskloof station on train 2415...
