@1995marines The coal supplied to steam railways is a specialist steam coal, so comes in a different graded size than the usual cheaper imported stuff that goes to power generating plants.

What, they're running those things on coal these days?

It was a note for advising the area of line that was having repairs, and in effect the signalman was handing up a tempory speed restriction for that section of line.

Dwarfy, you only have to sign up at your nearest steam railway. They'll be pleased to see you!

Great video!

There certainly is a great deal of tweaking involved. It reminds me of the non-stop interplay between crew and machine required to move a Boeing 727 through the sky.

Thanks for the effort.
