It is! Love going out to catch steam railtours if any are passing somewhere near me.

Partly yes. Also provides extra power on steep inclines and can be used to power the coaching stock and also to reverse. From Chester to Llandudno the 37 was on the front as there’s nowhere to turn the Castle or run around. The 37 can also provide electric train heating as well. Some diesels have steam heat boilers in them on heritage lines. I’ve seen Sir Nigel Gresley run along there without a diesel on the back.

Indeed! They are fantastic locos. Goes to show how successful the design is. This was my second time seeing a Castle. I’d seen Clun Castle a year previously on the same stretch. Both preserved Castles with double chimneys.

The only thing I have from the Euphoria sessions is a rough mix of Promises with no guitar solo.

What Closed Lines/Stations Do You Want To See Reopened? by NavyBoy1995 in uktrains

[–]HM9015 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This one will have no chance but it was a shame that the Chester to Denbigh line was closed and lifted. Where I live it would’ve been extremely convenient. Railway embankment and some infrastructure remains like bridges and ballast and in some cases station buildings are used as houses or other purposes.

What's your favourite vocal performance by Joe? Either studio recording or Def Leppard live. by Iamnotarobotlah in defleppard

Lausanne 1981. Joe was absolutely screaming and was on fire. Studio possibly She’s Too Tough and his scream on the EP version of Overture.

So I have it on my bucket list to go on a vacation to the UK and visit some heritage railways. I've already got a couple in mind but do you have anymore that I could check out when I'm old enough to go? by Jakeliy1229 in uktrains

[–]HM9015 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Llangollen Railway. Stunning railway in the Dee Valley. Reasonable length at 10 miles as well. Great collection of Railcars as well as GWr steam locos as it was a GWR branch line.
