Portillo got to do the anniversary series. Worth a watch.

That Darlo guy doing his youtube channel 'Rail and Revolutions' impacts much better than low key Portillo. There are some great videos there, especially so, if you are north east local. Oratories and visuals both impress.

A couple of old railway photos from Slovenia in 2003 that I stumbled across recently:

A goods train in the Sava valley heading west towards Ljubljana. It would have either come west from Zagreb (or Belgrade) or south from Graz via Maribor …

… and an old steam locomotive (presumably of Yugoslav Railways vintage) on display at Grosuplje station (about 15km SE from Ljubljana)

Maybe someone could enlighten me as to why Deltic has a Locomotion plaque on the front?

Don't know, just give me the 2 - BIL sat next to it anyway! 😍😆

Locomotion just north of Heighington station about twenty minutes ago, I was surprised at how quiet it was. Quite a few cyclists out to see it too.

Locomotion at Shildon is its usual home, headboard just a bit of advertising.

See Post Immediately Above
It’s not far to my chosen vantage point, less than half a mile, but due to time constraints, l drove round
There several others already there

One guy had a drone ready, but he didn’t have time to launch, as it was a few minutes early!!

D1935 on the rear

Normanton station to the north-east
Wakefield KirkGate is next along the line, to the south-west
