Camelot was due past Tremaines a little before 12:30. I wonder if it has had the whistle changed in connection with the Ghost trains? Tom
Fag packet calculation. From the NYMR annual accounts, in 2025 they burnt 1,082 tons of coal to run 24,831 steam miles - an average consumption...
I was on the Q class that day - 2022. [ATTACH] It was clear most of the day, just as we got back to SP it snowed very heavily. My drive home...
Possibly if you are specific about it being Christmas Day. More recently, there are photos doing the rounds of Bluebell locos in deep snow,...
Thanks for that - makes sense. Tom
Is that a new fitting, or replacement for an existing one? If it is entirely new, it seems like a reasonably significant job to fit mid-service,...
Our standing instruction is that the ashpan should be cleaned after no more than two round trips on the Bluebell, which is 44 miles - it is rather...
P class Bluebell’s boiler is definitely at Bridgnorth. Tom
No, for the first time in several years I'm not rostered for GoS - off for an OUCC reunion in Oxford for the weekend. But at least I have had a...
When I sign on in HOPS, I get a statement saying that all four stations have working water sources! EG was out of action I know, but is now...

323 is I think more or less mechanically complete. It is awaiting the return of the boiler from the SVR, after which final assembly should be...
You don't have to understand the logic, you just have to understand the rules ;)...
That's where we might diverge in view. I'm not so sure it is as clear-cut as that, as a reading of the NYMR thread (especially a couple of years...
Oh, I don't disagree, I think some kind of wholesale structural reform on the WSR would bring many benefits - I just caution against throwing all...
True, though it’s worth noting that Gift Aid in effect leverages four times the value in altruistic donation from the public which might otherwise...
Although I support the principle of moving to some kind of charitable model, I think there are some somewhat heroic assumptions in that £400k...
I have t seen the notes. But at a guess it means the train will stop with the rear 6 in the platform - so the front 6 have gone through the...
The Goods Division posted this short video of teh Goods Train on Saturday behind the 9F...
Just to bring this back to the gala-proper, the 9F is already at the Bluebell and has been in use; yesterday the Ivatt tank was delivered. Tom
