Heading home after a full on day with this at King's Cross. Whatever you think of it, to celebrate our railway heritage in such a public way is rather special indeed and it's been a privilege to be part of it.

pay tribute to legend of the steam age, Peter Townend, former shedmaster at King's Cross. Peter made the modifications that gave the loco its distinctive BR appearance. A friend to the museum in so many ways and a last link with working steam.

40 years ago today was the last run of the Deltic diesel locomotives on British Rail. I never saw one on the East Coast Main Line, but somewhere in this picture (found on the net) of Birmingham New Street in 1981 is a 7 year old me looking on. I still remember the sound!

Unexpected Castle in York. I don't keep an eye on when charters are running, so a pleasant surprise to be told about this during the morning and finding that it coincided with a lunchtime walk. Always a joy to see 7029!
