  1. SECR 65 liked WorkingPressure225's post in the thread Bluebell Railway General Discussion.

    Really pleased to hear such positive feedback! A lot of hard work went into making this weekend possible at such short notice from many different people (including some on this forum), and your kind words will mean a lot to them.

  10. Devonbelle liked Shep Woolley's post in the thread Saphos Trains 2026.

    [ATTACH] There has been much discussion recently about the whistle on this engine and I have to say it was the only noise audible from 'Blue Peter' today as it was pushed around Cumbria. Under abysmal weather conditions LNER Peppercorn A2 class...

  11. Devonbelle liked Romsey's post in the thread Fire Risk.

    There was also a government proposal of using rail tank cars to transport water from the North West to South Central England in 1976 . There were problems, only new vehicles or foodstuff rated tanks could be used, which limited the idea...

  12. The Dainton Banker liked Eisenbahn Träumer's post in the thread The South Devon Railway Thread.

    In May I paid a visit to the South Devon Railway. GWR 1369 was in service and I was able to get a few shots of her between Totnes and Staverton. Enjoy watching the video! (Sorry for the german video title.) [MEDIA]

  14. The Dainton Banker liked RailWest's post in the thread Lynton and Barnstaple - Operations and Development.

    You may be right on all counts Keith, but.... would it not be nicer to be able to mark 1935/2035 with some significant achievement (such as an extension to PE) ratherthan just 'more of the same'? In fact I suspect that - based on current...

  15. The Dainton Banker liked Robin's post in the thread Oswestry Update.

    [Ongoing thread drift]. I beg to differ (as does Google). Although "total" is a noun, the phrase "a total of" is acting as a quantifier (like "more than"), with "engines" being the subject of the sentence to which the verb "built" is being...
