That is very sensible, and will be appreciated. It also means anyone risking the last train at Ribblehead can have more confidence in a late night train away from the pub.

Thanks for the info :)

I love that. A very convincing scene overall, although the actual railway gives me Woodhead vibes

Of course :D I’m sure they moved a few signal boxes around!

Thank you That goes without saying ;) Seriously though, the sound version is a very sensible purchase for performance reasons, as it includes a stay-alive, so well worth the extra cost when working on a layout with lots of points like mine. It’s lovely, but it’s not very Clayton West :D ;)

Thank you! It will be a couple of weeks before it makes it onto the layout, but I think you’ll like my plans for it :)

Well, Santa has been kind to me.

Merry Christmas all, thanks for being a wonderful community

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas on Fort George. Giving Moors View a run for their money here @Cowley :D Merry Christmas everyone! 1766632669 Wow, this AI stuff is good… 1766632887

Very interesting! Still no upcoming loco roster beyond the 28th, I was hoping to visit on the 29th and again in early January but it does depend what’s working as to how I prioritise my time…

It’s the internal crampedness, terrible seating layout and non-existent legroom of the Northern examples that gets me. I like (and even enjoy) all the other Sprinter classes as they are very much the era of my youth. 170’s are nice units.

I’m not overly enamoured with the class, as I get subjected to the Northern ones fairly often. However, I must say that looks stunning. I doubt it will happen but I’d love a 90’s event, possibly with the 150, KWVR 144, Wensleydale 143, Wensleydale RES 47 etc…

Confusingly, Sheffield Platform 2C, is a separate platform to 2A and B. I’m not sure if there’s a historical reason?

…Speaking of loco’s, it would be nice if the early January roster were to be announced for planning purposes *cough* Green Dragon *cough* :)

I see the logic, but according to the KWVR website Big Jim is a relatively easy job, so why not prioritise it over something that requires a bigger amount of time and money? It can then earn money sooner and help fund the others?

Appreciated, but they could instead keep Big Jim and loan out one or even two smaller loco’s. It gives them more options :) 1766355706 Why’s that?

I have to say, in their defence, it does seem to vary by loco type. Their Black Five’s usually go full pelt through Doncaster, as below, outdoing Sir Nigel Gresley (7:33 onwards). Fire risk has affected a lot of West Coast’s this year too, which may affect the perception. West Coast often seem...

Thanks

Does anyone know what this one is please for tomorrow: 2Q20 0911 Doncaster C.H.S. to Carlisle That pesky 153 again?

Yesterday morning the new Leeds-Sheffield service sailed through Sandal & Agbrigg with a light load. However, I’ve just seen one go through with a very healthy loading. Although a 4 carriage Sheffield-Leeds just went through and was fairly quiet. …Although that may be related to another 2-car...
