my Ruston DS48 "Gower Princess" arrived

Looking forward to seeing her working.

A few laps of St Oval will help to get her settled.

Welcome aboard Stefn

Members of Warley Club have voted that it’s time to stop the show.

The bend it's putting in the trailer's swan neck is 'impressive'; look at how far the front end of the trailer side frame is 'down' compared to the rear end. Sorry, but it isn’t bending, it’s designed to travel like that. If it was bent to that degree the tractor unit would be right down on its spr...

That’s a great video Geoff. Good old fashioned engineering.

Having looked again I can see there are a few differences, but at first glance this morning through sleep deprived eyes I thought with one viewed from the port and the other starboard there was a slim chance that you had used a simple trick to increase the interest

Whatever, Rule 1 applies.

Absolutely

It’s a small world Martin, we spent a few years a stone’s throw from Davenport station, a good day out was to catch a green DMU up to Disley and a walk around Lyme Park. Dave, it's an even smaller world. I remember watching good trains out of our upstairs window; that would have been 74 years ago!U...
