    I wont be around for the 50th weekend but I thought I would share a ‘good old days’ story prompted by reading that the WSR service pattern which persisted for many years - of steam MD to WN and DMU WN to BL, with both meeting up at Williton every...

    And sometimes they deputised for a failed M7 on the normal branch train of 2 coaches as I witnessed on one occasion seeing an unrebuilt in the bay platform at Swanage.

    To quote one of the guys we work with recently when speaking to a client; 'Your lack of planning isn't our emergency'. I would expect this will be the ORRs stance, and I would be disappointed if it wasn't. Chris

    Well plenty of Enthusiasts (myself included) are able to cope with the fact that location is not always possible, and enjoy seeing a loco decked out with a headboard it would have carried in pre-preservation days to give a sense of what would...

    Given that the Bluebell calls their pullman service The Golden Arrow there's an argument that any loco hauling it is authentic because they are actually hauling a train called the Golden Arrow!

    That's what I mean. They're fitting them, yet the news report doesn't mention it, nor that the exemption they're asking for is because they've actually started a programme of fitting CDL and want to run a mix of stock. WCRC haven't run a non-CDL...

    Just a quick nip down to the tunnel crossing this afternoon to see 2999 on the Pullman set. Made some good noise coming out and I’m sure the fact the golden arrow headboard is on definitely won’t cause discussion amongst the purists .

    I'm no expert, but did Bulleids run to Swanage in BR days? The argument of authenticity can be a bit of a misnomer when it comes to heritage railways - particularly as there are two austerities at Swanage running this weekend. I don't think...

    While I'm here for (austerity) haulage rather than photography, it did strike me that 34070 in weathered condition on a handful of green mk1s on the branch looked bang on... Until you see it from the front! Wouldn't have stopped me from coming,...

    I get the silliness of 34070 hauling wagons with a Golden Arrow headboard, but what's wrong with a Bulleid carrying an Atlantic Coast Express headboard? Or headboards in general?
