Like you, I’ve had no enthusiasm to visit whilst it was principally a diesel railway. One of the reasons for giving up volunteering was the requirement to be passed out for diesel driving.

It looks like the good ol' days are back:) Well, almost. Tomorrow, it's planned to be 100% steam between Pickering and Grosmont with only Pebbles making two round trips between Whitby and Grosmont to spoil things. 926, 2392 & 92134 are doing...

I’ve been involved in the heritage railway volunteering game for over 60 years and I learnt many years ago that the average volunteer will not step up to fill a vacancy. After all, why should you? Unless you have a particular desire to do so you...

We have a new complete "W" iron! However the main job on Wednesday was to prepare Rothley shed for the Beer Festival. There are two visitors as well, going to be on display. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]

Well Thankyou to you all for your kind comments. We’ve had a blast this weekend. The profits have been superb, but more importantly the good feeling, the good wishes, and the happy faces around the place has been great to see. This gala will go...

Sawdust liked 60044's post in the thread North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.
Wish I could as well- (hopefully the teak carriages will be paired with 2392!) I've made the round trip of 500+ miles in a day before now but, sadly, I can't find the same enthusiasm for visit to the NYMR these days....

Had an excellent day at the SVR on Friday. I was amazed how good the timekeeping was all day, certainly not normal for a gala. I don't know whether the timetable has been tweaked to make it more resilient, or if it was just luck that nothing...

LMarsh1987 liked Johnb's post in the thread Severn Valley Autumn Steam Gala - 17 to 20 Sept.
No railway does a gala like the SVR. A few years ago on holiday I was talking to the chairman of GECP, the group that work steam on the Nice - Digne metre gauge line. He’d been to the SVR gala the year before and still couldn’t believe what he’d...

alastair liked mikehartuk's post in the thread Rother Valley Railway.
The team did it - nor as they liked to remind us all was there ever doubt they would! Track is now laid all the way from RVR Bridge No 24 to Salehurst bridleway crossing. That track laying started in June and now, with what were two...
