Hawkeye28 a răspuns la subiectul Bluebell Railway General Discussion.
Richard, Is there a case for resurrecting SOBT 4035, currently only an underframe? SOBTs 4008, 4036 and 4035 have arrived at the Bluebell over the years and stripped for spares. Indeed, you commented that 4035 had framing of a larger cross...

As SECR 65 said, we would prefer to keep 4227 as original when restored; the Mid Hants have one as well, with the Coupe Compartment, but theirs is stripped out to provide wheelchair access. The current thinking is to use our second RMB in the...

silversteellady a plăcut postul lui mdewell în subiectul Oswestry Update.
A lot of chat in many threads about the need for steam, but talking to people at Oswestry today, it seems that the CHR Pacer Gala was very successful and attracted people from quite a distance (at least 1 from Deal in Kent). It takes all sorts I...

An excellent copp and will look forward to seeing it at the valley! There are photos of it at the West Somerset in May 1998, so this may well be the last time it went elsewhere. Either way still getting on for 30 years! [IMG] Image from...

Sadly, we're well aware of that one. Not only faster than the average human but, on one occasion, faster than the combine harvester he was driving, too. That was a long time ago, and fortunately the driver managed to get out. We are really keen...

My suggestion was based around the "Whitby problem". The only short term fix to that is hiring certified locos but I fully understand that might not be viable. In which case the "Whitby problem" resolves itself, to the commercial detriment of the...

Probably, but can they afford not to? They're always very short of locos for most of the season. The whole of the diesel fleet was out today, and other than no. 29 and Lucie, it seems 44806 is currently the only fully operational steam loco....

37688 was being operated by LSL but isn't any longer, hence the long term hire to NYMR.

Yes, 25728 is in need of work - it had the structural pillars done when it first arrived 30 years ago, and cosmetic work, but needs more now. As our last remaining SK, it's considered an important vehicle in heritage terms, and the company are...

The extended caption that will go with this photo in my South African steam loco memoirs book is below. 22 April 1985 and 25NC 3436 ‘Molly’ looked and sounded in superb condition flat out storming past Kalkbult on the 19 coach afternoon stopping...

We used to stop at Farwath several times a week to take the lady who lived at the farm there to and from Pickering. She didn’t drive and used to make besom brooms which she sold in the market. All part of a service long gone.
