This is the original forum of the Bristol Railway Archive that existed between 2003 and 2013. I finally rescued it after it seemed unrecoverable after a large crash. I have made it available for viewing. It is locked, all posts to the new version please!
Use this forum to talk about the railways in and around Bristol, or for any off-topic stuff you want to share. Also request photos and information that you are missing.

Sorry, I meant 6E41!

No problem at all, a few of us try to have 607 off when we can. Always fun when the driver appears to stop for a picnic on the way up and a XC is leaving Parkway. Then at the last minute the track circuit goes occupied and your sphincter can relax!

I prefer the expression Touching Cloth! A bit like Thursday 6B13 on your patch with 6E41 late due to loco late back from an impromptu fueling. Havent looked at trust to see if I caused any delay but I did tell the driver not to hang around.
60054 "charles babbage" on the tanks this morning. Interesting to note that some of the bogies (think thats the right term) on the TEA wagons were marked "Gloucester 1969-nothing like getting your monies worth from the assets!
a basic track plan with linked signals would be nice ie the tytherington junction and the bi directional running up to westerliegh, in a nut shell westerliegh junction to the down signal just outside yate (engine common area, and the branches oil and tytherington, please, my email address is on my face book account. thanks alex.
