    East Lancs Railway summer diesel gala

    20305 and 37059 are fine by me.

    East Lancs Railway summer diesel gala

    Well yeah but thats goes without saying. A West Coast 33, 47593 or even a Colas 37 would certainly add a splash of colour, clag and thrash to the proceedings. However beggars cant be chooses, so we'll have to wait n see.

    East Lancs Railway summer diesel gala

    A pair of Warships on the last move of the day, is the beer ex I surmise. If theres to be any mainline visitors and I dont want to sound ungrateful but i hope it's not a 60. Good for the red pen men but theyre hardly thrashing up the ELR.

    East Lancs Railway summer diesel gala

    Yeah I had seen that. Which is good for me but normally the ELR have a few more guests. Sounds like I'm being greedy I know.

    East Lancs Railway summer diesel gala

    well you can probably remove 26038 from that. Will actually be at the ELR too. Hopefully they may add another guest loco or two and hopefully not zings. I had enough of them killing loco hauled turns. Now they're spring up in Diesel Galas . I know they're popular with some folk and each to their...

    Juliano's World Frenzy/Tech's Trip Reports

    Good write up Tech. Congrats on clearing the trams, well till the new ones arrive. Shame about the very brief meeting with kite. Those rail replacement buses are a complete mare. Same when the metros are off here. They take moons to get between the stops. Seemed like an enjoyable day out though...

    Visions of ... Gatesheed and Newcastle?

    Yeah but I still put it up as at the time it hadnt been established and I put it up to show the one in Gateshead and the one on the video but yeah I did notice.

    I think you may have cracked it Mr APT.

    Visions of ... Gatesheed and Newcastle?

    These are the Bridges in Gateshead that come very close to resembling them on the video. I have my doubts whether it's actually these ones myself, the distance apart for a start dont seem to match the one in Bob's video. I wasnt even a twinkle on my Dads eyes in 1966. So couldnt tell you if they...

    A bit of North Yorkshire Moors advice please? Now with added trip report!

    Another Great Read there. That was one helluva trip Mr Cowley. Great break for both you and Mrs C. 1100 miles, is some going mind, saying that, I'm surprised Tech didnt pass you on the way, the amount of miles hes been putting in too on his bike. :lol: Sounded like the trip away, was just what...

    Rambling Roebuck... (Trip Reports)

    Top Read Mr Roebuck. Seemed like a canny day out on the Swindon and Crickdale Railway. I was even more shocked to hear that Rushton Shunter still exists. It was 97651 that was painted yellow and based at Gloucester? Sadly my memory fails me at the minute. Maybe it was 97653, I cant remember. o_O...

    Back on the platform

    Good day Mr Train. I have to say both the other half and I had a bloody good laugh at your ELR Trip Report, bloody good read and thoroughly entertaining as usual mate. I'm trying my best to educate the other half and without putting her down, she does get mixed up and the results of this can be...

    Juliano's World Frenzy/Tech's Trip Reports

    Jesus H Christ Tech after reading that it had me knackered. I was pedalling that hard on the settee hoping you done the Strava Challenge that I ended up 4 doors down the street :lol: :lol: . Massive well done bud. The skin on your backside must be like rhino hide with all that cycling. Joking...

    LSGs Getting Out n About

    Mr Xot I knew you'd come up trumps, so it was the Scarborough turn eh. Christ almighty that was 37 yr ago. Yeah it was an excellent day mate. Thoroughly enjoyable. I'm sure you had just as good a day yesterday. Thanks for the kind words too.

    LSGs Getting Out n About

    Some videos them. 40145 certainly giving it big licks there bud. I totally concur with the sentiments on the 60s tech. However I will say, whoever organises getting them there, deserves a massive pat on the back. Noise wise, ok not the greatest but the chance to ride behind them is excellent...

    LSGs Getting Out n About

    Part 3 Its Gala Time !! continued Now I'm stuck with having a ride behind it. I'd be lying trying to tell you when k last had a wagon for haulage. My old school mate Cal loved em, so we always managed to fall on them when out bashing back in the 80s. I had many a begrudging red pen under a fair...

    LSGs Getting Out n About

    Part 2 Its Gala Time! !! Now i must confess, I've been looking forward to this since, I saw the date and the guest locos being added to the roster. My hunch of the 20's guesting from LSL being duds 20096 and 20107, were confirmed but it didnt put me off. Then telling the other half, the...
