    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]

    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...

    Not that long home from my second not quite full day at that amazing event. And I can only endorse the very favourable comments posted above. Truly incredible that with the constraints that @LittleRedTrain has mentioned - TWW being a 'tight...

    I spent yesterday afternoon helping with what may be called the sideshow to the main gala - the temporary reopening of Heathfield Tunnel, which is situated within walking distance of my home. I did consider mentioning this on the Forum, saying...

    Judging by the plan I've just seen, Swiftsure and 76017 will both be out on Saturday. It looks like 76017 and the Class 20 on Sunday, with Swiftsure on the dining train.

    We travelled on the Snow Hill trip. Nice to have 37240 as the supporting diesel, much preferred to a 47 by me, anyway. Hopefully inBR 2 tone green sometime? So these were during the run round at Snow Hill station. Clun ran backwards coupled in...

    I couldn't get out yesterday for a "mini steam fix" - Tornado & coach heading south from Carnforth. Today was not quite a "maxi-fix" as I was restricted to morning and evening; Mrs W was out for a long lunch and I was Maisie's designated servant...

    The last few posts (Matin’s excepted) have been pure fantasy obviously written by people who have never visited the WHL. The gradients and curves on the Mallaig road will knock the stuffing out of any engine in a season, a Schools is fine for...
