    A lot of chat in many threads about the need for steam, but talking to people at Oswestry today, it seems that the CHR Pacer Gala was very successful and attracted people from quite a distance (at least 1 from Deal in Kent). It takes all sorts I...

    An excellent copp and will look forward to seeing it at the valley! There are photos of it at the West Somerset in May 1998, so this may well be the last time it went elsewhere. Either way still getting on for 30 years! [IMG] Image from...

    I went on holiday to Yorkshire in summer 2023 (I think). We, as a train loving family, went to a variety of heritage lines. I'll talk here about the NYMR and the KWVR. In the case of the former, we stayed for a week near Grosmont. In the latter...

    Panniers often have a reputation, one which probably caused by being used on heavy trains. 75069 had some issues last time it was used, it's getting on a bit in its current ticket.

    I found it fairly easy to do so. Descending the bank from Goathland to Grosmont, once up to speed I’d drop the vacuum to about 15-16” which would be about the balancing braking to keep the speed steady. Some slight adjustment was always...

    I think they stated in their members magazine a few years ago that they wouldn't be entertaining 9681 visiting any other railways so you've done well to prise it away from the Forest!

    9681 will be our 2nd guest locomotive, courtesy of the DFLG and DFR. A huge thanks to the guys at the DFLG for this who’ve been superb to deal with. 9681 has very rarely left the DFR, perhaps a handful of times in its life at best. Certainly one...

  9. silversteellady 支持 MellishRWest Somerset Railway General Discussion 内发表的帖子.

    I seem to recall repeated claims that the WSR needed the odd half million or so every year for a backlog of maintenance, without which it would have to close; no reports of any such moneys being received; and yet the railway apparently still...

    It is critical. We have a duty not only to our customers, but to our neighbours, too. Farms right along the line have crops in tinder dry fields right now. In one area, we have flax planted right next to the line. I am told that if that were to...

    I think 37688 is the only Whitby diesel they have at the moment. You wouldn't want to send it to Pickering in case 44806 gave up in section. Except..... it's being sent to Pickering on the 1330. Interesting to see that it's diesel on the diner...
