There's no news because not much has happened except for some preparatory work on the bogie. All other efforts are being focussed on the overhaul...
It's currently under restoration. Last seen going into the paintshop. It's probably due back in Weston by September.
Thornbury Castle's owner has just launched a new website devoted to the loco and its restoration. I must admit that I had quite a lot to do with...
It's been a long wait, but 7027 is destined to feel the rush of steam in her cylinders once more. Yes, I've heard all the stories of the loco...
Good grief. You have no idea how much time and effort went into this event. Hundreds of people, mostly volunteers, gave their time and energy to...
I managed to invite myself into the BL signalbox yesterday and spent a very happy hour watching Lawrence and Peter at work. They were happy to...
I spent a very pleasant day on Saturday at the S&D Gala. My impression, as a very infrequent visitor, was a well planned and executed tribute to...

Ah, Bristol! I'm steadily acquiring quite a few driving hours behind the wheel on several of these for a Weston-super-Mare operator. No cab heat...
I remember drawing attention to this traction/traffic issue a while ago on the WSR forum. I'm glad to see that the Railway has also seen the...

Although matching sets are pleasing to the eye, multi-colour 'rainbow' sets are nothing new. I clearly remember watching steam-hauled stock in the...
I agree, 45ft jointed rail panels on concrete sleepers are particularly uncomfortable! On the national network it makes sense, both in terms of...
I suspect that very few heritage railways will be able to afford to renew life-expired rail with brand new rail imported from China. Most will be...

Yes, guilty as charged m'lud. The very first poster to reply to my spoof story saw right through it. By way of explanation, I was intrigued by...
