Interesting to learn that there is some work going on in regards to the proposed double tracking of the line from Aberdeen station to Dyce and beyond. As the line was double track before I can't quite see how there could be much difficulty in reversing the single line. The route through the...

Just received an email from feedback@railforums.co.uk explaing that someone has tried to get into my Railforms account. It also gave the IP address of the person. I have not long suffered a false download that caused me lots of problems and the computer having to go into the shop to have Windows...

On the return journey on the 25th June I took the opportunity to video the line from Reading station to Reading west junction, showing the massive changes made since the rebuild of the station and the inclusion of two new depots on the Up side of the railway. After working the route for over 42...

On my return journey on the 25th of June I managed to video from the HST from Reading station to West Junction, showing the up side changes. Remembering West Junction Up & Down Yards and the many sidings and building in between this is now a massive change. It was so the first time I had changed...

I had a very enjoyable day visiting and walking the northern part of the old Cromford & High Peak Railway between Whaley Bridge and the Bunsell Incline at the bottom of the Fernilee Reservoir. It was a glorious day of weather, which made it all the more enjoyable. I think that was our 'Summer'...

I enjoyed a day up in Derbyshire last Saturday, walking the old Cromford & High Peak track bed between Whaley Bridge and the Bunsell Incline at the south end of Fernilee Reservoir, near Buxton. This included the Whaley Bridge and Shallcross inclines as well as most of the two Bunsell inclines...

My a first visit to the Centre since 1976. However, I did work over the line in the 70's while a driver at Marylebone and in the 80 & 90's with a coal train via Acton and Neasden and return via Aylebury to Claydon LNER Jctn and back to Didcot via Oxford. I enjoyed my visit after so many eyars...

Cine film from the collection of the late Didcot Guard, Cyril Thomas. Clean-up after the fuel train collision at Didcot North Jctn in the early 60's, when a light (steam) engine reversed back through the Appleford Down Goods loop and trap point and collided with the "Long Tom" fuel train just...

I wonder if anyone can help with this problem that just started today and have no idea what has gone wrong! When I click to open a photo from the Photostream screen all I get is the bottom quarter of the photo high up in the page and nothing else. No boxes on the right hand side to make any...

Most of us will have seen these statuesque characters in and around tourist spots. They are very impressive and their presentations have improved considerably over the years. They have now introduced excellent impressions of being suspended in mid air. No matter how close you look or walk...

Intersting find of a wooden railway. Such finds prove that some of the railway and track workings were known and being used well before metal rails became the norm. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2379064/Wooden-railway-built-200-years-ago-discovered-near-colliery.html?ito=feeds-newsxml

I hadn't been to the preserved GCR since back in the 90's and last Saturday(the 22nd) I decided to see what changes had been made over the years. In spite of very mixed weather I quite enjoyed the day's visit. It was a steady mix of fine sunny spells with quite heavy showers. The video was...

I have updated this web site after two more walks over this old Incline Railway, that is now the High Peak Trail. The walks were during May and June. The latest walks are between Middleton Top and Hopton, followed by Hopton to Longcliffe. However most sections have had some updates of photos...

I had a nice time at the Railfest on Saturday. The weather wasn't great, mostly overcast, with one really heavy shower, followed by a few bright and warm periods. There was plenty to see and the attendance was quite large..... There was one pitch point that slowed things down o a crawl...

I have downloaded the update of NWM. However there are two downloads for Objects and both folders have the same name, which means that you will overwrite one or the other folder! Are they meant to be entered as one file after downloading, or what? I would appreciate any help. thanks...

During my two visits to the High Peak Trail and one to The National Tramway Museum back in August 2011. I took a few snippits of video while waiting for my connections when going to Whatstandwell station or when returning back home. Three videos are at Derby while the other two were taken at...
