Ditto regards 813, it goes really well. Gave me one of my runs of the day yesterday and has quite the surprising turn of speed. 4 coaches no problem although I think its limit is 5 on the valley unassisted. Also heard the same regards 4150,...

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...

Not much more to add other than another top notch gala from the SVR. Great selection of locos, the timetable was the perfect balance between interest, reliability and frequency. Trains were very well loaded, but always able to get a seat if...

Another excellent day at the Severn Valley today - it always delivers the goods! All locos seemed to be behaving well and things were running pretty much to time most of the day. Highlight for me was seeing 46115 for the first time in many...
