o/t Kidderminster SVR & Mainline Trains

One thing has always fascinated me down the years is the Handcar, seen in use in films of the past. The video in link below shows in detail how to use one. I'd love to have a go on one.

Interesting thought, Gav, but best not to try it in the monsoon season!

Steam for me every time. The smell and noise, much better than the buzz and smell of diesel oil.

I was going to watch a movie tonight called "The Boiler Room" and billed as a "steamy drama"... but it stars Vin Diesel so I don't know whether or not to bother?

Cool machine but looks like a backache on wheels to me.

Problem with buses is that some of the ticket inspectors can be a bit scary:-

I must admit the above still from one of the final episodes proves the point that, with the departure of Reg Varney, the final series of On The Buses did lose much of its original light humour

the last time i was on a smoker was 3 or 4 years ago.
we got tret to a journey on t'north yorks moors
steam railway.it woz tidy alrite. had some snap on board an all
the train was reckoned to be going to whitby from
pickering but the weather ( snow) was so bad we only got as far as grosmont, so we turned back.
rentboy could give loadsa info on this.

One thing I can tell you is that those industrial blizzard machines are not cheap to hire but when I heard you could be on your way, it was worth it.

Anyway, glad you enjoyed your trip aboard the puffa-puffa poof-poof POOFTER puffy puffboy special!

When I was in the UK in the spring I realised that in all the numerous times I had been on the SVR I had never ridden its full length. So I drove to Kiddy got my ticket and here we go. As we rattled along, the classic English country side unfolded itself outside the window, rolling meadows, wooded hillsides, sheep, horses, cows, a Rhinoceros, a couple of Giraffes,WTF!!

I had forgotten the bloody train ran past Bewdley Safari park. X-D

Am currently travelling on good old 323211 set, compliments of London midland!

Can hardly contain my excitement as I watch the run down industrial areas fly by at a dizzying rate of 37mph
