Happy New Year to all on the forum!

Here's hoping that 2024 brings more good luck and prosperity to you and your loved ones.

Goodbye 2023 - here are the last rays of sun from yesterday, sun finally vanished from view at 1824h:

Accurascale at Chinnor?

Happy New Year, TWO new locomotives for me:

First this Class 37 (37.227 NOT one which Accurascale did?) - it had hauled the train on the Chinnor to Princes Risborough line - seen at the destination.

And then we were hauled back by this Didcot-based "Large Prairie". As you can see the weather was delightful!

Still, the best possible way to start the New Year!  HNY!!!!

Great stuff. Used to be our local steam line. Before that we had the Watercress on our doorstep. Now at least the Glos and Warks is within the hour……but had to be content with seeing a stuffed and mounted Manor in Swindon today! Pic from Swindon advertiser….

Download the video (it'll take a while, then play it from the start! Diesel and steam - something for everyone!

The second video doesn't exist - ignore it - I have no idea how to get rid of it!

Don’t forget this one is fairly close to you.

Yes, Bob, but do they run STEAM - otherwise it doesn't really count (although Class 37s come close! I must give them a visit.

Indeed they do Leslie - have witnessed it myself!
