Bomag Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 I take it most of this was shot on Sunday; also Ian Smith needs an equity card. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMJ Posted August 5, 2016 Author Share Posted August 5, 2016 Gavin who filmed this does it for a living and those that have the Hunslet 150 DVD will have seen his dedication to the subject matter. If you know where to look unfortunately you will also see me in the Victorian film. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMJ Posted November 30, 2016 Author Share Posted November 30, 2016 For those who have never seen a few locos pimped with lights and trimmings here are a few inside the Engine House. There will be public steam trains running on the First of January 2017 see the railway's website. Decorations will still be on the locos then.

AMJ Posted December 21, 2016 Author Share Posted December 21, 2016 A busy time at the Railway currently. On Monday Picton a Booth's steam crane and the Isles steam crane were lifted and moved using a 200 Ton (or is it tonne?) crane as per http://www.yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk/news/200-tonne-crane-drafted-in-to-move-historic-leeds-locomotive-1-8297436 Steelwork was delivered and erection commenced on the shelter for Picton after it moved into it's final resting place. These will be visible in the car park when we are open on New Years day with steam trains from 1200 every 45 minutes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMJ Posted February 4, 2017 Author Share Posted February 4, 2017 For those who have not seen the posting on Facebook the makers of the new boiler for the Sentinel have finished the shell and hopefully later this year we should have it back in black and in traffic. http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=2009218_168414 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was last at the Middleton (which was about 18 months ago) this loco was placarded as being one that the trust wasn't going to restore as it couldn't run on the railway. I'm glad they've changed their mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad they've changed their mind.read it again it say there going to conserve the loco not get it running ( stop the rust & make it look nice) its 10 foot wide so if they got it to run there's no place for it to run in the UK as it would hit platforms Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PenrithBeacon Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 read it again it say there going to conserve the loco not get it running ( stop the rust & make it look nice) its 10 foot wide so if they got it to run there's no place for it to run in the UK as it would hit platforms I think you and I are talking at cross purposes. I know the loco is out of gauge for UK lines, but if the Middleton do a restoration job on it I think that will be welcome. There aren't enough locos that were built in Britain for overseas use preserved here. It's good to see another of the small number that are being restored rather than just left outside to rot.

AMJ Posted February 12, 2017 Author Share Posted February 12, 2017 PICTON is as has been previously said been conserved inside the new shelter. For those wanting to photograph the loco the best time is in the morning as the sunlight is on the loco. None railway press do not understand the difference between conserve and preserve and will often change the wording accordingly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
