  • Two Castles! (sounds like a ‘two Ronny’ sketch)! They got away from Exeter St Davids (GWR) in fine style and sounding good! .With their Mayflower steam tour to Plymouth! An I K Brunel 7ft broadgauge plus Atmospheric line at one time? (early 1844 on)! But went standard gauge in 1892! These Pilgrim passengers will return, No Atlantic crossing…

    • Personally i’d put these up with A4s? Minus Flying Scotsman of course! Nothing come of the Southern trials that i can make out? Bulleids done ok? Mallard broke down? The time keepers may just as well stayed in the pub! Nothing was gained, Maybe Heritage conduct such a trial? They must know what coal consumption for the fleet of foot…

    • Forgive me, but can I question the number of items which have been appearing recently on the community page that seem to be better suited to the news page? I find that I’m having to scroll through news items in order to find members’ photos. This has only happened since the roll-out of the new website.

      Am I alone in finding it frustrating?

      • David, you are not alone! I also find scrolling through news items frustrating as there seems to be more news items than members photos. I realise that heritage lines are winding down and the weather may be preventing people from going out to photograph trains but the Community Page would be better used just for RA’s members.

        • Hi David

          I know you emailed Michael about this yesterday afternoon but he was out of the office for the rest of the day so didn’t get chance to reply, so I thought I would reply here.

          I have had a rough count up and just 11 out of 49 news articles have made it onto the activity stream in the last week, we choose which ones to keep on… Read more

        • Strange but there appears to be fewer new items in the community page today, you say that there was only one that appeared on the activity stream in the last week, but I observed a lot more than one and there were making it hard to look through the community page and interact. I was going to drop you a message about this but ended up being…
