"Brookie, the Diesel" - no, not a character from the latest children's railway series, but an affectionate name for the BL20GH locomotive made by Brookville Equipment Corporation. Gary Dolzall admires "the Brookie" in his latest #WeAreRailfans article. wearerailfans.com/c/article/broo…

Autumn is the time to catch the Railhead Treatment Trains, or RHTTs travelling the length and breadth of the network clearing the tracks between services. We managed to catch this one at Gillingham (Kent) this week, top and tailed by Class 69s: 69001 & 69002. (📷 Joe Rogers)

As the year begins to close, a lot of heritage railways begin to rest up, ready for festive services later in December. Are you planning to visit any this weekend? We popped over to K&ESR last weekend to admire the lovely Austerity tank engines. (📷 Joe Rogers)

Anyone else still hunting RHTTs? We got close to 66749 at Strood the other week and 69002 at the other end of the train. Here, the driver moves from one locomotive to the other to take the train from the Medway Valley Line, to the Chatham Main Line. (📷 Joe Rogers)

How familiar are you with Britain's steepest, sustained main line gradient? We give a brief overview of the Lickey Incline, in the West Midlands. Here steam, diesel and electric locomotives and units have done battle with gravity over time. wearerailfans.com/c/article/the-…

When is a steam locomotive not a steam locomotive? When... it's actually a diesel! This 2ft gauge 'steam-outline' diesel loco no.3236 was built in 1947 by Baguley for the amusements at Sheerness, but since 1998 is now a static display at Honister Slate Mine in the #LakeDistrict.
