Headed up to Porthmadog, yesterday, with my Dad, as it was his birthday and popped down to see the Ffestiniog railway for a few minutes. Always takes me back to when I was a kid and many a happy ride on there

It's a temporary measure until the reversing carriages are commissioned I understand. Running two engines is quicker than moving an engine from one end to the other at Carlisle or Barrow.
 
I visited the Tyseley open day today, here are a handful of photos of the event. I am not an expert on Steam, others on the forum may know what they are, I think 5593 is a Jubilee class, I have no idea of the tank engine.

I was pleased to see progress was being made on the class 40, I met the owner who told me all the main bearings in the engine had been overhauled plus lots of other technical stuff that went over my head.

A rather tatty 50033 which looks like its going to need plenty of TLC,money and time spending on it.
