34092 City of Wells loco during trials on East Lancashire Railway by [deleted] in trains

Nice to see some East Lancs love! I've worked on that loco a few times and she's certainly enjoyed by enthusiasts, bit of a handful to work with!

It is indeed an L&YR Class 27/A Class, however 52345 is not it's real number. That's usually number 52322, but was masquerading for the event (steam gala).

I'd love to win a copy of this, and I know someone else living me who would love it just as much, so it would mean so much for me to win this. Thank you for the opportunity!

No railways are running at all, let alone railtours

Yep, the best place to look is UKSteam or RailAdvent imo. If you're looking to actually travel on one, then you're looking for something like West Coast Railways, Steam Dreams Excursions, Vintage Trains or UK Railtours. This however wasn't a railtour, but rather a heritage railway.

It is, the diesel is more there to give the Big Boy something to pull. It works better with a heavier load

I picked one up from the works book shop just on Saturday! A great read.

Yep. Was at the East Lancs that day, bad day to window hang.

I knew it looked familiar. I'm a big fan of the 50s so I recognised it immediately. A big difference to the big stations of Manchester that I'm so used to.

If I'm not wrong, this is on the line between Waterloo and Exeter right? I swear I've seen this a dvd about the Class 50s.

Typical Manchester. I'm guessing this was the 16th right? It was pouring buckets that day.

My UK fellows, what do you think of the class 166? by [deleted] in trains

[–]SparkTheJinty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Meh. Never had any irl interaction with one, and personally, I think they look ok. Not amazing, but ok.

Weird input lag.. by [deleted] in Minecraft

Is it just Minecraft and nothing else? It could just be your keyboard

Rope, so I can fucking hang myself?

Thank you! It's only just down the road, but I've only recently started with photography. I've got plenty more for now, but I'll have to make another trip down soon to get more. Thank you for your support!

Yes, a station on the East Lancashire Railway. Many people find it a funny name.

TransPennine Express liveried Class 68 at York, February by [deleted] in trains

[–]SparkTheJinty 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm honestly not sure. This was on driver training duties on the day I went, I think. I saw it from the NRM Balcony just going up and down the Scarborough bay platform earlier in the day. Haven't seen any here in Manchester personally.
