FANTASTIC 3 DAYS AT THE NENE VALLEY DIESEL GALA
The Nene Valley Railway was another great event, helped immensely by nice weather on the Saturday and Sunday. It was good to see many Deltic fans in attendance and 55 022 being one of the star attractions, in its current disguise as 55 018 ‘Ballymoss’. Our sales stand did very well and as always it […]

THANKS TO THE BO’NESS GUYS FOR RECENT WORK TO 55 022
As mentioned a while ago, when 55 022 left Springburn and headed for Bo’ness, a few jobs were planned to be completed on the loco before heading off to the North Yorkshire Moors Railway with 26 038. The main work was installing a complete new set of Traction Motor Carbon Brushes to all 6 Traction […]

2016 Calendar – can you help?
We’ve started work on the 2016 Calendar but would be pleased to receive some additional images – do you have any unseen or rarely seen quality deltic images you could contribute for the RSG 2016 Calendar? Ideally these would be shots from the BR era but outstanding photos from the preservation era will be considered […]
Glasgow update
Amazingly, it is now just short of 2 and 1/2 years since 55 022 began working the ‘Translator Coach’/E.M.U. movements for GB Rail Freight. The movements across the City of Glasgow between K-B Rail Services, Glasgow Works at Springburn and Scotrail’s Shields T.M.D. are set to continue for the foreseeable future and hopefully other suitable […]
