    It's a bit more of a handful on a slippery rail. Putting the basically the same power through 2 cylinders and 8 wheels is always going to be more challenging. Seems quite capable though. It's a lot more comfortable to work on. Most of the...

    I make no comment on the structural works as I do not possess any relevant facts & I am not suitably qualified. However this view may help people to see a more complete picture & address some concerns: [ATTACH] Please note that the picture was...

    Falls from heights are still a major cause of life changing accidents nationally hence the Work at Height Regulations. Had these been around when steam locomotives were being designed the water filling arrangements would be rather different.

    It's rostered as the Dinas engine for most of next week as well doing the full line on Saturday and Tuesday. Usage still depends on qualified crew being available but this will improve as the season progresses.

    Nothing shown on RTT as going from Barrow to Carlisle today, so I would assume it still is. Thought the reopening is still some way off.

    Thats right Sheff, the last I read the repairs at Bransty aren't expected to be completed until some time in 2027. The Saphos Lakelander tomorrow, and presumably others this year, returns south via S&C, in effect a CME rather than CCE. RTCs...

    Confirmed that Kalahari has completed her first full line passenger run today. Looking forward to sampling this fine looking machine in action.

    Cumbrian Coast Express 27th May. Map shows normal loop around the coast, but itinerary is elec to Carnforth , steam to Ravenglass and back, then elec back to Euston. So coastal route still severed? https://www.railwaytouring.net/cce-27-06-26

    Isn’t there a question of reversibility? That is, hypothetically you could remove the existing cylinder block and preserve it; and replace with a new set of cylinders (of any construction method, it wouldn’t matter visually); but doing so...

    Apologies for the delay in giving an update on construction but I have been out of the country. So I have attached just a few photographs from the recent Open Day with the Hengist Group at Diamond Engineering in Sheffield. They are hopefully...

    It was great to see the six forgings at Shildon on Monday. On all six, a corner had been cut off so that a steel sample has been tested and a report prepared on the properties of each forging. In the machine shop a large CNC milling machine was...

    Maybe North Yorks CC could provide a footpath diversion over a nice wide former-rail bridge parallel to the footbridge which, although no longer strong enough to bear the weight of trains, should still be plenty strong enough for pedestrians...
