Later in the day 34028 and 34053 head the 14.01 from Corfe Castle to Norden, with 34072 bringing up the rear. Finally, it's 35018 bringing the 14.56 arrival intinorden, with 34081 looking after the tail end.

A bit of Bulleid ballet, involving 35018 and 34081, and orchestrated by 33 111, before 34072 heads the 10.40 departure from Swanage on 6 June, 2024. We leave the last word to 33 111, exiting stage left, or is it right? with a sunny 34081.

To Harnham's Cross to join the birds and one man and his dog waiting for the arrival of 34072 on the the 13.34 to Norden. Then down to the platform to await 34070 Manston on the 14.14. There's time to head up to the 'sharp end' to see the token transferred to 34072 as it rumbles back towards Swanage. It's the comfortable seats after that for another run up the line, but only after watching the ...

Having watched a lacklustre Southampton (the Saints) succumb to a perky Stoke City (the Potters) I decided to lift my spirits by taking a detour via Basingstoke on the way home to see 'Clan Line' returning from Bath. I wasn't alone on the platform. A group of Blackpool (the Seasiders) supporters had just arrived from Reading, where their side had lost to the Biscuitmen - (sorry, the Royals - th...

After the enjoyable run with the SAPPER up and down the AVON VALLEY Railway in April 2019, I had the opportunity, five months later, to run along the quayside outside Bristol's MShed on PORTBURY. It should have been a train operating day, but without enough personnel, they were limited to 'driver experience' sessions. It was all pretty gentle, with lots of people about and an ice cream van park...

For one of those landmark birthdays, my kids treated me to a bit of 'driver experience ' on the AVON VALLEY RAILWAY, Bitton, in April 2019. It was totally brill - especially the race with the cyclist on the adjacent track - and I don't know why it hasn't seen the light of day till now. Thanks to the kids, The Sapper, driver Wilson & fireman Cowley, and Denise, who took the pics.

My vists to Bristol Temple Meads (just passing through) in 2022 were occasionally enlivened by a loco stood at a new stabling point - and a sunny evening. Here are 37425, 57307 and 60 055. All of them were ticking, clicking and wheezing away, but one of them had a great percussion beat going. Which one do you think it was - 'Concrete Bob' (37) 'Lady Penelope' (57) or 'Thomas Barnado' (60) ? Ans...
FRENCH STEAM FESTIVAL - May 2023 [6]

The Bank Holiday Monday was surprisingly quiet at Longueville (apart from the manic whistling and horn blowing) and it was possible to get a little closer to some of the locos in the yard. After watching a variety of departures, ending with 241 P 17 topped and tailed with 567558, I set off to catch the railcar to Montereau, little knowing that I'd soon see the 'Mountain' again.

On the final afternoon I took the 'Picasso' railcar trip to Montereau - along a freight only line. These iconic machines have an engine whirring away in what you'd think of as the driving compartment - and a driver's cubicle that protrudes through the roof! When we reached the disused station of Flamboin Gouaix, where the freight line branches off, we sat in a siding for 15 minutes. I realised,...

The first public day of the festival - and the omens weren't good when the 08.30 special train rumbled into Provins an hour late. Arrival at Longueville showed that the tracks between the platform and the heritage lines in the yard were full of modern units - so a great 'viewing area' was blocked off. Never mind... to the roundhouse, where one or two engines were simmering; and the yard... wher...

I decided to head up to Villiers St Georges on the first excursion, topped and tailed by the 2-8-2 and the 2-8-0. Villiers St Georges was a mass of dismantled track and redundant grain silos among grass carpeted running lines and platforms. The station building had ...

The first view is of 5553 climbing sedately past Colesloggett Halt, between Bodmin Parkway and Bodmin General.

I thought the Great Central's Winter Gala (26 - 28 Jan 2024) was a brilliant event and the thing that gave me particular delight was the constant succession of freight trains, in both directions. OK, there were only two trains in reality, but with a variety of locos, and seen in a number of settings, it was just like turning the clock back 60 years and more. I could imagine myself at my local s...

    You’re right - I should have called my web thread ‘steam trains at a particular speed’. There are even a few correspondents who think that the lead number - in this case 246 - indicates the actual speed LoL…look out for ‘Hayfield’s shorts’ instead - suitably generic - but I’m afraid I won’t be wearing them.

      What were you expecting? 50 Apache warriors galloping alongside on horseback trying to capture the train? Ronnie Biggs hurling mail bags off to waiting accomplices? Richard Hannay climbing along the outside to escape the police? A fist fight on top of the carriage? A maiden tied to the tracks by an evil guardian, but rescued by a square jawed strong-but-silent type? Jenny Agguter waving a red flag to bring it to a halt? Sorry for the disappointment.

    That was slow! In the late 1950’s I used to go train spotting at Didcot. One day the “Cheltenham Flyer” came through at what I was told was about 90mph. No smoke. No steam. Just a rhythmic and rapid thud, thud, thud. I never saw a repeat from any train again. I expect the number is in my Ian Allen trainspotters book, which my brother who is a volunteer at Quainton now has.
