silversteellady liked paul1609's post in the thread Kent & East Sussex Railway.
To be honest having been a fireman at the K&ESR for 10 years, I think that whilst the ride is bad it's overstated mostly by people who would prefer a different type of loco. I'm with James squared on the damage it actually does to the track...

silversteellady liked James McLeish's post in the thread RTC 2026.
Who'd have thought only a few years ago we'd be finding novelty in seeing West Coast's Mk1s on the mainline?! Lovely to see them return and for 46115 back on public mainline passenger duties (And a bonus excuse to travel up to the North East),...

silversteellady liked James McLeish's post in the thread 6024 King Edward 1.
Some footage from the King's public debut at the Nene Valley, seeming in fine fettle; Certainly very busy around Wansford station and looked to be plenty of people on the train itself [MEDIA]

silversteellady liked LMarsh1987's post in the thread Saphos Trains 2026.
The Duke took 10 last November. The only issue with an S&C return would be Wilpshire Bank, especially the tunnel. Everything on their tour page indicates this will run the same as the previous runs, regardless of the lack of Upperby LE paths...

silversteellady liked GWR4707's post in the thread Saphos Trains 2026.
Its doable waterwise as 5043 did it on the Castle Over Shap in 2009, IIRC they actually took 5043 into Steamtown on that occasion and watered and coaled her, what I cannot recall from that trip is whether there were any intermediate stops or not?

silversteellady liked 5944's post in the thread East Lancs Railway.
Frames, loco wheels and possibly tender wheels I believe. https://www.flickr.com/photos/67444577@N02/51241705257/in/photolist-2n9dnA3-2m548JR-6ifiWe-dNc3Za-8ufi8Q-dyPYhn-2pbim8Y-29Dhr46

The Dainton Banker liked 60044's post in the thread North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.
I would have expected rolling stock and PWay maintenance to be itemised separately. If all this is "administration" why don't they just back to basics and lump everything together as "cost of sales" and a second line against it as "income" ....

The Dainton Banker liked Jamessquared's post in the thread North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.
I guess the important thing to realise is that “Head of Security” is presumably a function, not a role - in other words, you need to define who it is for an event, but don’t have to automatically recruit another paid manager ;). I’d imagine for...

The Dainton Banker liked jnc's post in the thread North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.
Credit where due: @echap had asked, up-thread a ways, for just that breakdown: "listing some of the items that are included in the large Administrative pot". Thanks for providing it. Legally-required financial reports, sadly, often seem to me to...

The other tanker out in the open; both are confirmed to be running in the goods train tomorrow. AM812 is in a 1940s Air Ministry colour scheme, which was reproduced after careful archaeology on the layers of paint uncovered as the vehicle was...

Key points from today's AGM at Quorn; Progress though 2026: - The tender has been stripped down to the frames (we kind of knew that anyway) and the proceeds from weighing in the old tender tank for scrap have been used/ will be used to pay for...
