Does anyone know what the isle of wight Island Line does regarding RHTT ? Most of the UK network is covered by various freight operators using tanks and MPVs, merseyrail appears to be covered by these small shunters with tanks, and London Underground is covered by RATs So what does the Isle of...

Hi, So I post a picture of a certain gentleman on Facebook with a long trenchcoat and stepladder and apparently he's called 'death' Without naming / photos to avoid personal identification, does anyone know why he's called this by so many on social media? If you're not in the know, apologies...

Was watching Inbred this morning, 2011 film set in Thirsk. If anyone else has watched, there's a big field in the film with lots of coaches in a variety of graffitied states, in intercity swallow, regional railways livery etc. Does anyone know where abouts this was in Thirsk and if the coaches...

Must be a common problem . Locomotives from Hornby with a working fan, making a loud unattractive squeeling noise. Video from my 50 if anyone can hear it https://youtube.com/shorts/ImEVQdePzkU?feature=share Does anyone have a fix? As bad as it sounds, I have put oil on the two gold pulleys...

A freightliner green train has come off the rails near Sidcup. Maybe 6Y83 Sidcup to hoo junction ? https://twitter.com/NetworkRailSE/status/1437334942262960128?s=19

Someone has told me you can't have two locomotives tailing on a train, with the exception of class 20 and 73 In the scenario of the 69s arriving at Paddington on the tour, they were removed from the train at Paddington, a 66 brought the train out, and the 69s followed behind. You'd think that...

LSL jolly to Sussex seaside at Eastbourne. Goes via Lewes both times which is nice, although the statesman usually does. Crewe to Chesterfield ECS https://live.rail-record.co.uk/train?c=U64003&d=14/08/2021 1Z83 chesterfield to Eastbourne...

Some lavender line Rolling Stock is being sold, including the class 309 Clacton EMU and a shunter. More information here http://www.thedingleypages.x10host.com/stock_for_sale.htm There's not much descriptive text on there worth me doing a quote but there's some decent stuff on there. If I...

Hi. Can anyone recommend any decent places to see the 50s around Maidstone or between Tonbridge and Canterbury West? I've had a look at Tovil Bridge near Maidstone - is that any good ? I tend to avoid stations now due to kids with their tripods etc , so any bridges or lineside shots that are...

When Stacey gets on the train back to Wales, from "London Paddington", they're clearly at London Marylebone as there's a 165 in the livery, but they've put up a fake sign saying London Paddington. Why didn't they just film it at London Paddington ? Instead of putting a sign saying Paddington...

Previously I've seen some places that reprofile triang power bogie wheels (which usually have deep flanges), so that the flanges are shallower and run better on modern track. I did buy a pair of wheels some time ago, they were metal replacements rather than reprofiling the original wheels...

Can anyone recommend any decent positions along this line , ideally for westbound freights. Tempted to cop the theale to margam tanks at some point and I'd like to do it lineside. Not much on trainspots that isn't 10+ years old, and with overhead wires now best method is to ask like-minded...

Mayflower and 47772 are working this. Unfortunately delayed at Clapham junction because the water tanker hasn't turned up Southend to Eastbourne https://live.rail-record.co.uk/train?c=U52227&d=10/07/2021 Eastbourne to Hastings https://live.rail-record.co.uk/train?c=U52228&d=10/07/2021...

So on the left is an older Lima 73, perfectly fine, but my Hornby EMT 43 appears to have clouded all over the glass bizarrely. Does anyone else have this problem? I'm not going to bother replacing it as it's not worth the effort in my opinion (it makes this strange squeeling noise too even...

First I've heard of it, but apparently some units going to scrap next week and also some for storage at Worksop, is anyone able to confirm? With the Doncaster to Slade green moves only just finishing (or still happening .?...!) for refurb or whatever, it sounds rather premature to send them...

Does anyone watch this program ? In the episode 'The Shattered Silence' at the beginning there's an interesting American switcher that looks a lot like a class 20 except with a door between the window (as most us switchers do) Is anyone a fugitive regular and knows enough to tell me what type...

I'm sure it's already been discussed for which I apologise but can't find the thread. What makes an EMU a class 7xx ? I understand sub 100 is locomotives Sub 300 is diesel multiple units Classes 300 up to 508 being electric, varying power types , including dual modes like 377/7s (DC and AC)...

Hello I had another ride on the VER today , which got me wondering what the bizarre high to low pitch squealing noise is that comes from these units that sounds like some sort of dog toy https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B009OYSDS4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_imm_P33R2FESB94CGK2BP4DJ I observed a button on...

Seen on Facebook by EMR that St Pancras are not letting people on the platform for the HST unless they have a ticket to travel and the train is ready to board. Not taking my chances with a platform ticket... ...soooo... What spots would you recommend between North London (Luton area) and North...
