I went on the Sunday and really enjoyed myself. It didn't seem to busy and I got a seat on all the trains. Really liked Fenchurch and No. 29, nice to see the little engines take centre stage. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]

Spitfire liked The Gricing Owl's post in the thread LE movements, ECS and test runs 2024.
A nice long look at 35028 passing, thanks. I was perched in view up on the footbridge east of the station where I first learnt, and then saw that the up main doesn't actually exist at the present. Most of the point that saw the up main continue...

And so ; GB duties done on to the next job. After a prolonged passage through Shrewsbury 45407 heads north through Yorton, thankfully between the heaviest of the showers, en route to Carnforth and then later in the week Fort William [ATTACH]

35028 looked and sounded great climbing up towards Bickley Junction this morning. Photos taken whilst standing on tip toes (like a ballerina!) on Blackbrook Bridge, next to where the hobby started for big brother Don and myself. It had left the...

Good to see an alternative view...'for balance' as they say. But this is a classic example of when the alternative view, whilst valid in its own right, counts for little if you are the SVR planning an event. When you set out a gala event there...

Can't really add much more to above other than I had thoroughly enjoyable time today. Timetable spot on, catering much improved and now a new favourite loco... Fenchurch! What a simply superb bit of kit, looks gorgeous, sounds fantastic and goes...

Spitfire liked Gladiator 5076's post in the thread Steam Dreams 2024.
Why is a water stop on an ECS move more risky than a water stop on the actual passenger legs? I do not understand the logic of your argument, if the tour had say had a pick up at Ealing Broadway then why would that scheduled water stop been less...
