Fitted with a really good spark arrestor, modern design of over door ashpan, can be worked round the whole railway in 1st valve no drama. Was our most reliable last year in the high fire risk season

I've never before in my life heard a GWR Hall described as "reliable in high fire risk conditions". Is it an oil burner or something? :confused:

Having had Having a head and spine MRI's scheduled at Poole this morning I had always intended to drop into to Arne Road to grab an image of the T3 on one of its brake van trips as part of the Road to Rails event. However the scans made me feel...

silversteellady liked SECR 65's post in the thread Bluebell Railway General Discussion.
I think it has a private owner. Presumably an agreement has been reached with the owner to have it overhauled and operated on the Wealden Rambler dining set. Interestingly, it is one of only a couple of the 70-odd coaches on the Bluebell not to...

silversteellady liked MellishR's post in the thread LTM Sarah Siddons & 1938 Tube Stock Metropolitan Line trips 24-26/7/26.
Interesting that it says "choose from three different routes along the Metropolitan line" if there's only Amersham-Harrow and back or Amersham-Watford and back. Maybe some of the runs do all three sides of the Watford triangle?

silversteellady liked M59137's post in the thread Mid Suffolk Light Railway.
Made my first visit last Sunday for a day with the railbus, having never managed to reach the inclination to visit before with the all-steam offering. The heat certainly made the Middy Bar an essential part of the day! Very friendly volunteers...
