I give you what impact it has had on the Nene Valley Railway - cancelled twice now, will those visitors or participants on various charters, driving experiences, whatever, will they hope "third time lucky" or just give up?

[MEDIA] Here's my footage of Clun Castle tackling the South Devon Banks for the first time since the 1980s with the Z48. I filmed her at Dorsley Park Bridge on Rattery Bank, Old Hemerdon Sdings (the aftermath of the stall), Burlescombe, and St...

John Petley replied to the thread Bahamas.
RTC still has Bahamas advertised for a number of summer trains. Some clash with visit to Peak Rail, so major website updating is urgently required. Mind you, I'm not holding my breath for those trains booked for 45596 haulage prior to its visit....

It's good that BLS have got somewhere to earn steaming fees for the summer. Just another unforseen result of the CDL issues at Carnforth. Cheers, Neil

My shots from the last two days, the outward run at Horse Cove, and the return run along the sea wall at Dawlish and Newton St Loe. Well done to all involved! [IMG] [IMG] [IMG]

3ABescot liked jsm8b's post in the thread LE movements, ECS and test runs 2024.
This morning RTT showed a Crewe to Kidderminster ecs movement at the start of what looks like busy week for LSL. So purely out of curiosity I went to see having expected just light engine moves for the gala. 37409 (built 1965 as D6970 at Vulcan...

The Great Western 1Z48 Day 1 There was a tangible sense of excitement aboard as we departed Birmingham Snow Hill on a train surely so long anticipated in the minds of many. We were soon making good progress out of the suburbs of Birmingham and...

Several years passed between the construction of Tornado's original boiler and the order for the new ones. I think A1SLT have acknowledged - though I can't find where - that skills of the current management in Germany and their engineering...
