    Whilst I get the gist of your comment, it would be poor of me not to mention the amount of effort that has gone into the repaint. According to SVR News not one transfer has been used, Ronan O'brien has hand painted every single letter. Personally...

    Meanwhile, in the North Bay at Scarborough a banner invites people to meet 37264. Sadly the people responsible for this are unable to spell the fuel it runs on... How many marketing Professionals does it take to spellcheck 9 words? [ATTACH]

  3. silversteellady gefällt 47406s Beitrag in dem Thema Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway General Discussion.

    The reason for the harshness stems from the way the railway has been operated since 2020. We used to visit 3/4 per year 2007-2019, were members of the society with many friends there. Up and down many times on each visit, swapping trains to get...

    [MEDIA] A short video about Nunney Castle and how it barks through Worth Valley. What a great engine.

    The Sussex Belle page on RTC's website has been updated to now show 34028 as the loco, no longer a Black Five.

    Excellent news from the 13809 Preservation Society. <BJ> Locomotive 13809 is one of only two surviving ex–Somerset & Dorset 7F 2-8-0 steam locomotives. Built in 1925, it served faithfully alongside ten sister engines until withdrawal in 1964,...

    As mentioned by @unslet, it is to allow access for a crane. This will be needed for the intended propping work and thee is nowhere practical to site it except on the formation between the road and the bridge.

    I'm a bit late but here's some of my pics from Sunday, mostly from the footpath alongside Keighley bank as it's one of my favourite photo spots :) Had a lovely time as always, Worth Valley galas never fail to disappoint :D [ATTACH] [ATTACH]...

    Yes that would have been 5521 in 2007. The engine ran on the DFR between 2009 and 2012 over various stints and then again in 2016. He also helped to get 30120, Met 1 and 30587 to the railway for a gala in 2016. The Flour Mill employs a number of...

    I think it's start of what could be quite interesting trend of railways and Comic Cons/Pop Culture crossing over. The Bluebell have really started to get on board with it anyway. They did a Comic Event last year with Peter Davison as the main...

    Pure speculation by me but I suspect that there has been a falling out for some reason as, the last time I met Bill Parker he was at the DFR testing his Prairie loco and it was all very friendly. It was a relatively long time ago, though. Time...

    Some railways can be very 'loose' with locomotive loan contracts - or the absence of them. I know of one railway that has lent a locomotive and carriages to another railway several times, each time with no written contract, no exchange of...

    Have you been hovering over the webpage?! Only just got updated haha. Only came out of our gala meeting a short time ago! Yes sadly it hasn’t been for the want of trying, but an external issue has meant the loco just can’t be done in time....
