They should have a chat with Vintage Trains who seem to have a good selection of routes they can send their Castles! ;)

If my sources are correct which I’d say they are 80% reliable - 46100 and 34046 fall in to the “very well worn out” catergory. 45231 resided in the workshop in Crewe in October with minor bits removed (I had seen a photo of that), with the King...

If they win, I'm sure it will make a nice two-page spread in the magazine doing the triumph! Awards like that seem to spring from a perceived lack of self-worth you get in some communications teams, as if they constantly need to validate that...

That's not "hilarious"; I'm wavering between 'infuriating' and 'unbearably sad'. Because the line really is in a bad corner, and, as you observe, this is a pretty telling insight into who's minding the store. Noel

I see this thread is straying in to the usual drivel again. Ultimately anyone on the station with a valid ttvael pass/ticket for any train has a right to be there. The fact some have paid a premium to travel on the railtour itself is a bit of a...

Have you paid to go on the tour, or have you just turned up at the station wanting to get some pictures? Priority should always be to people who have paid to travel on the tour, they have every right to look at the loco, they've paid a lot of...

You usually need to wait for the right moment, many a time I have had to wait for the people you describe to get out the way. With the improvement in quality of the cameras in mobile phones it is lot easier that it use to be with a conventional...

IIRC A4 boilers got fitted to A3s in BR days with the boiler pressure suitably reduced. I’m sure I read in Peter Townend‘s book that the first thing that Top Shed knew about this was when they went to replace some boiler tubes on an A3 and found...

Again, read what I said to @5944 which is it was the act of putting it on social media and pretending they achieved something and wouldn’t get caught with their pants down that was hilarious. I quite agree it’s bad, much like the magazine.
