Tickets arrived this morning. Times aren't as fast as perhaps we might have hoped. 146 mins Paddington to Bristol (Av 48.5 mph) and 161 mins for...
More video to add to the collection, including Narroways and further up Filton Bank in 'the cage'. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BLBs12-tVvI...
Great day chasing 44871 and 70013. Seen at Rattery (light engine working Totnes to Plymouth) then Hemerdon (two shots) {wonderful sound}, climbing...
Seen going well, if a little late, between Bath and Bristol: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=elAwSc81hYg
Already booked on 'The Mayflower'. A Gresley Pacific Paddington to Plymouth, shades of 1924!
Fine sight and sound at Andover on the way home. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZO9cvDwVpu4 Some ***** completely ruined the arrival shot at...
Ummm, bit out of date with that comment, might be correct up until about 1930 when Gresley introduced the A3s, and later the A4s. No class 8 has...
Sorry very busy week.... We came down for the Stonehill Bridge (I thought the restriction had gone, did Mr Churchill forget? unlikely!) So we...
New name: Paignton and Dartmouth Diesel Railway?
Sorry but all this talk of 5051 vs 5029 I have to put in a word for 5051. Nobody has mentioned the excellent run over the Devon Banks on 26th...
Depart Exeter St. David to Whiteball Summit (MP174).
70013 topped Whiteball at 59 mph, an excellent performance given it was subject to the Stoneshill bridge restriction. The time of 21m 37s was the...
I was wondering about this as uksteam shows a LEM for 60019 Alton to Southall on 25th March, which is after the tour. However tickets arrived this...
4079 running anywhere. 5051 taking 4079's place in the workshop. I love the idea of a 28xx on a Mendip stone train. Merehead put on a great...
If that is the case, then why not run the 25 behind the train? If 19 gets in trouble it's a quick job to run the diesel on the rear and give it a...
As a passenger on the train this is disapointing news. Can we at least assume that the diesel will not be in the picture for the return journey?
Maybe just a couple of minutes late at Westbury, but making the usual wonderful sound track. Video from Avoncliff and Dilton Marsh....
Indeed speed will be constrained on the run downhill, but whether 19 can get close to the 20 min mark, as 9 has done twice, Exeter to Whiteball...
I just thought I would mention this trip as times have appeared on uksteam. This looks rather interesting as it includes a rare non-stop (booked)...
Sadly I think a change was inevitable. When you look at the practicalities of running a loco three days on the trot with support crew 400 miles...
