Has any one else realised that although Oliver Cromwell is down for Model Rail Live, it's also supposed to be doing a tour to Wales on the same day? http://www.modelraillive.co.uk/page/?title=Special+Guests&pid=5 http://www.railwaytouring.net/uk-day-trips/welshman Mainline steam shows the...

Sometimes get freight on it, but the ones that do go past are usually 66s and the odd 70. It is mostly a diversion if that section of the WCML fails - a month or two ago, there was a track circuit failure and they diverted a Pendo and Voyager through NLW

What seems to be a bit odd is that on the Railway Touring website, it mentions that the locos can come from the pool of... 6201 6233 60009 70013 45305 Maybe RTC need to plan a bit more as 70013 was on one of their other tours today, if 6233 is out of gauge (which I'm sure they would...

Does anyone know what happened to the steam loco supposed to be hauling the NWCE on 5th August? All waiting at Newton le willows to get pictures and it's topped and tailed with 2 47s! Isn't there supposed to be a reserve steam loco, ie, Duchess of Sutherland also based at Crewe with 60009...

The prototype gas turbine loco? http://www.flickr.com/photos/jasonkerner/7160945558/in/set-72157629641632120 Its a good place Didcot, lots to see - definitely go when they have something on as theres always a lot of loco movements up and down Jason

Where's ELRs turntable or triangle at Rawtenstall? Its single track (apart from Ramsbottom station) and then just a head shunt and reverse section, but the loco would still be the wrong way round. Jason

That makes sense, thanks - never realised that it didn't go all the way to Liverpool

Does anyone know if any electric trains actually use the track from NLW to Liverpool? I know the line is only electrified from just before the station at the junction with the WCML but all I've ever seen on it are DMUs and diesel freight I know of the plans to make the whole route electric from...
