@DavidWilding271 @ApsoMollie1 Meltage report for the weekend?

[Ryan Evans @ryan125hst]

@LeeHurstComic But putting everything in one bin means that recyclable materials are contaminated and can't be reused. Glass contaminates paper for example. It's always better to collect materials seperately.

@DavidWilding271 Cooked on a radiator but the boiler was broken...

⚠️ STOLEN GOODS ALERT ⚠️

We are saddened to hear that The Deltic Preservation Society have had their entire stock of Accurascale Class 55 Deltic 'Tulyar' Models stolen from their base.

Please share this to make these models too hot to handle.

I spotted this book by @pipdunn while at the GCR Diesel Gala and couldn't resit buying it, especially as it's written by my sister's husband's uncle. It's a fascinating and highly detailed snapshot of everything, mainline and preserved, on our railways today.

I had a brilliant time at the Autumn Diesel Gala at the @GcrGreat on Saturday.

I had a fantastic day at The Greatest Gathering on Sunday, celebrating Railway 200. There was a huge selection of locos and units to see, with around 40,000 people attending over three days #thegreatestgathering #railway200 #somanytrains

Quadruple-header at @AlstomUK Derby! Stonking super-powered departure of Merchant Navy 35018 British India Line, Jubilees 46115 Scots Guardsman & 45627 Sierra Leone, and Black 5 44932 – to Carnforth @westcoastrail. Pics by @benjorama, who helped mastermind #TheGreatestGathering

@DavidWilding271 Shame I missed this as I'd hoped to have a look. So many trains and not enough hours in the day!

Would Govt. prefer us to sell the workshop, yard, offices, stock or staff room to pay the ludicrous BPR IHT if my mum dies?
45 years of unimaginable graft, risk, sacrifice (& paying taxes) - but then shafted simply because we run a good family business & provide good stable jobs.

[Ryan Evans @ryan125hst]

@cosfordairshow Such a shame as it was great for getting into and out of the show with traffic updates, plus crew interviews and music for entertainment. I hope it can return next year

[Red Arrows @rafredarrows]

The Red Arrows are ready for 2025! Public Display Authority was granted today - meaning the new season is underway! Hear from Red 1 on the team achieving this key milestone, after completing final preparations. #RedArrows

@AlexaJayne The tour was fantastic, Darren needs to build a time machine so we can do it again! 😃 Thanks Jayne, it's been a tough 9 months and I still feel like I've got a long way to go before I'm back to normal. Hopefully I'll get there soon.

[Ryan Evans @ryan125hst]

@AlexaJayne It was two years yesterday since Darren's Birmingham gig 😲 Crazy where time goes! I've been stuck at home for 9 months with herniated discs in my lower back which makes car travel and most seats painful 😢 Thank goodness I wasn't injured at the time of the tour!

@DavidWilding271 Don't tell @Peter34080554 😂
