Mick45305 liked jsm8b's post in the thread LE movements, ECS and test runs 2025.

Mick45305 liked Oswald T Wistle's post in the thread LE movements, ECS and test runs 2025.
Today was the only one of the scheduled days for Nunney Castle's test run(s) that I could make it, and it appeared that today was to be the day (and possibly tomorrow). NR's current Fire Risk status in the NW is red and I did wonder if LSL might...

Mick45305 liked Wagoniester's post in the thread Spa Valley Railway Cuckoo Line Gala - June 13-15 2025.
Sorting through my own collection of photos from the weekend. The Spa Valley puts on some excellent galas, part of the appeal being the regular pattern of departures meaning there is rarely a long wait for another train. They're not everyone's...

Some footage from the Saturday of the event, great effort from all involved and always nice to see some scrapped classmates recreated from time to time! [MEDIA]

My video from Saturday, we had a brilliant day, huge thanks to everyone involved, I really hope the event was a success for the railway! The timetable meant there was never a moment when nothing was happening and all the various loco recreations...

Mick45305 liked class8mikado's post in the thread 71000.
Latest Bulletin -Extract: "On arrival at Crewe there were two areas that required attention. The first was the air pump, which failed during running on the SVR and meant that it was not possible to do any loaded test runs after 24 May. The...

As far as I know it was having a few bits sorted in Crewe after it returned from the SVR. I think it was due in the paint shop a week Monday.

Mick45305 liked NathanP's post in the thread Midland Pullman HST (2025).
Now back home after a great 3 days in the Highlands, so you'll be relieved to know there'll be no more Midland Pullman updates from me for a little while now. What I love about these West Highland weekends is the mix of high speed running along...

Don't under estimate yourself, or put yourselves down! A lot of the so called premier league railways are in the their own eyes, but not so much in others! I'd much rather have a small stable railway than a big one that can't get the books to...

It's hard not to echo other peoples comments but there simply isn't any other way to say what a great gala this was. Full of action, lots of work behind the scenes to get all the locomotives to the line and then reguise them into their scrapped...
