    If you wet it down, it stops hot embers causing fires, honestly.[ATTACH]

  3. silversteellady liked LittleRedTrain's post in the thread Vintage Trains 2026.

    From a passenger POV, another excellent tour by Vintage Trains. With the hot weather, it was never going to be one for the pure steam enthusiast, and we did get shoved around a lot from the back to avoid setting fire to half of Somerset....

  6. silversteellady liked Matt78's post in the thread Remaining Ex Barry locomotives?.

    Been lucky enough to fire a 57xx, 64xx, 1369, 14xx (2) 55xx, (2) and a 78xx. Considering the tank engines only I would rate the 64xx as the best for comfort, space in the cab and firing, and visibility but then it’s the most modern of the locos...

    Had a enjoyable memorable day out on 71000 Duke of Gloucester to Bath boarding at Maidenhead. Some nice fast timely running despite arriving into Bath 10 mins late. Here's a pic of the duke at Bath Spa. [ATTACH] Davo 56F

  11. silversteellady liked stumpytrain's post in the thread The South Devon Railway Thread.

    I think some of what you’re seeing at Buckfastleigh is simply the effect of storing out of use locomotives outdoors. When a loco isn’t in traffic and doesn’t have covered accommodation, it can start looking rather tired surprisingly quickly. 5542...
