BR Steam and North West England

Post by dforrest »

A question that only I can answer!

"Will I be happy running BR steam on this route"?

But perhaps you have an opinion on this .............

I would be happier running steam on a circle of track with no scenery than an infernal combustion engine on a modern image route with S & C 1920 quality scenics

Theres always a compromise, steam excursion activities could be run! Ian Riley's Black 5 45407 regularly runs around the area as 45157, a decent model of which is available on UKTS, and numerous locos regularly run north up the WCML through this area.

Well, Mr G Stephenson esq. ran his steam engine "Rocket" on the line in 1829...... There is a model of the engine, (File ID 192) on the site if interest... :lol:

And "Novelty", which competed with "Rocket" in the Rainhill Trials, is also there (I know it is because I uploaded it at the authors request a few days ago)!

Maybe a talented Activity Creator can do a virtual reconstruction of the "Trials" ? (Will have to ignore the electric lights on Rainhill station!) :o
