    GBRF class 66 re-gearing

    66685 also renumbered recently from 66775 or F231 (originally I got the two alphanumeric GBRfs mixed up but was put right!!). I’d hoped the old thread would be unlocked as well, however this new one does the business. I wonder why the GBRfs have gaps in the numbering when DB and HH (before...

    Ok, thanks for considering this.

    Trainmapper App

    I was wondering if there was any way of filtering the background Apple map on an iPhone? A filter option showing only the railway lines and place names would provide a better focus. Another would be a highlight of the railway lines to make them stand out more? Thanks for any advice.

    GBRf Class 99 - 30 locomotives now ordered

    There’s a half hour stop at Doncaster Down Decoy so maybe dropping one off here? Will find out soon after.

    2026 BLS Tours

    Both 50s led back from Joppa to Waverley so were at the wrong end of the train. Cue lots of shunting shenanigans, a 50 and 57 on the front and the other 50 on the rear!

    Non-Urgent TOPS Requests

    Since the GBRf 66/6 thread has been locked and to solve the mystery above, these two locos are the same loco. 66723 has been renumbered 66685, I wonder if that caused the confusion? Obvious from this photo-...

    Trainmapper App

    I’ve installed TrainMapper only a few days ago and have to say I love it, especially the unit allocations for the full day. I’ve given it a five star rating on the App Store. Well done, keep up the great work!

    Bo'ness and Kinneil Railway Thread

    It’s on the Trainz download station: <KUID2:283805:100216:1> TS12 or higher version should be fine for running it, there is also a automated session also based on the 2012 diesel gala I attended. https://www.auran.com/DLS/index.php

    Bo'ness and Kinneil Railway Thread

    The class 117 at Bo’ness has done the full run to Manuel Junction in the past. My records show it working 1110 Bo’ness- Manual Junction and 1140 return shortly after it arrived at Bo’ness on 28/12/24. The steepest gradient on the line is a short section north of Birkhill, can’t remember the...

    Shunter travelling north on the A1 today ?

    08480 had the winch attached ready for positioning on the low loader around 1pm, when Hitachi staff discovered 08507 needed ‘fitter attention’. 08507 had its engine running at this point and did sound a bit rough. They mentioned the plan was to see if 08507 could get attended to overnight at...

    Kings Cross Platform Rules

    I was booked on the Lumo 1415 Kings Cross- Edinburgh yesterday with my wife. Kings Cross is notorious for the last minute stampede which is not safe IMO, so I avoid that situation every time like the plague. I was aware of the disruption, so checked the incoming working on RTT and Traksy which...

    Should the railway engage in vanity projects, such as the recent Pendolino at Paddington?

    Well I was there and enjoyed the occasion. As I took photographs, a few people asked me why an Avanti train was there and took a genuine interest in the event. So I reckon it created goodwill. Didn’t hear anyone complaining that the effort spent on this delayed their train!!!
