I really enjoyed Furness 20 at Blaenavon a couple of years ago, when I'm pretty sure it had unassisted runs on two coach sets on the pretty savage gradients there. From memory there certainly used to be a time when it felt like if a Mid-Hants...

أعجب Mick45305 بمشاركة Andy B' في موضوع BR Standard class 6 No. 72010 'Hengist' and Clan Discussion Thread.
The Hengist lads have kindly asked the Toddington standard group if they’ll bring a stand to the open day which we have accepted. All being well we’ll have a few shiny bits of our own on display that you can see and touch. We’ve collaborated with...

No “oh dear” from me. Furness no.20 is a fabulous piece of kit. Just a pity the MHR hasn’t got any 4-wheelers for her to haul.

أعجب The Dainton Banker بمشاركة RailWest' في موضوع Lynton and Barnstaple - Operations and Development.
To be frank, the only realistic reason to have a Halt at CFL would be if we could not get to PE - period. But then we would have to solve the problem of stopping a train on a steep gradient 'cos we can't raise the trackbed at CFL (been there,...

The point of my post was not just about their excellent record of land acquisitions but to ask your opinion of B&YVRT's new approach. They're now proposing to rebuild unconnected sections of the railway on the lands they own, gradually linking...

Nice one! But dinosaurs are creatures of wide open spaces (easier to pick up incoming asteroids) and don't do crawling into small baths. Bryan

أعجب The Gricing Owl بمشاركة RLinkinS' في موضوع Mid-Hants Railway | Watercress Line | Spring Steam Gala 24th-26th April 2026.
The treatment for that infraction should be to crawl into the oil bath with a short handled sledge hammer and remove the little end pin for inspection (I was told about the difficulty of this task by an ex Ramsgate fitter) Sent from my SM-A356B...

Yes indeed. Sadly over many years I have rather got into the habit of calling any loco in the number ranges 34001 to 34110, and 35001 to 35030, Bulleid Pacifics. When of course a substantial number, including all the Merchant Navy class became...

We slowed several times and Olton was one of them from memory. The 44 was between Tyseley and Moor Street, up to then it was never out of the 30s, but as you say we were out of the Dorridge loop not long after the stopper went past. It's not the...

A loco I've yet to see so glad that she's having a visit down south, will be interesting to hear the bark on her!
