  1. In my experience parkside wagons are quite light. You'll likely need a weighty load to keep that wagon from derailing.
  2. I'm in my 4th decade and remember slam door stock coming through East Croydon although admittedly I was sub 5. All the doors opening on a still moving train made a lasting impression!
  3. Disused bay platform at West Worthing. Very overgrown at the moment but when I last looked in the winter it was still connected to the carriage sidings although with no provision for outside third!
  4. Presumably the person out front didn't have any controls other than steering? I don't fancy sitting there on a downhill section if it runs away!
  5. Never write off to malevolence what could have been caused by incompetence. At least they got a run although there is mention here of it not completing the tour. Lack of crew/fuel after the issues in the morning?
  6. Back on route, just through Raynes Park. That's going to be a spirited run to Bristol I feel!
  7. Steam today. Horsham to Bristol pulled by Mayflower. https://www.railadvent.co.uk/events/steam-dreams-horsham-and-chichester-to-bath-and-bristol
  8. Thanks @rasalmon Looks like they have repainted the smoke box for the trip. Looks really good.
  9. I believe Fenchurch goes on holiday to the SVR today. Family commitments will keep me away but hopefully some here will get pictures/video.

  11. That's correct. That is a Lima dirt hoover. Not keen on train set points but runs well once it's going. The train it's pulling is all Lima too.
  12. Dw I eisiau Hunslet chwarel os gweloch yn dda.

      Debated whether to respond in English or Welsh: I'm learning it very slowly and I don't think that is what it says but I can see why you got that translation. I'll wait until a Welsh speaker confirms I'm wrong before admitting defeat.
