Jamessquared replied to the thread Swanage Railway General Discussion.
It’s unique, but there are many unique locos of comparable age and complexity! I guess there is £10k of transport before you even start … The key questions for me would be: How much stripping down does the NRM (and indeed Swanage) want to...

Jamessquared liked LMS2968's post in the thread SVR Loco Newsy News / discussions.
Wrought iron was universal up to the 1860s, before the brittle problems with steel were overcome. It was used for frames, boilers, wheels, rails, tyres, tanks and tenders. Everything, in fact.

Jamessquared liked Robin's post in the thread [Apr 18, 2024] Severn Valley Railway 2024 Spring Steam Gala (Severn Valley Railway).
Possibly another reason to run with two was the need to put the set in the siding at Hampton Loade. I'm not sure there would be room to get a third coach in without fouling the running line.

I doubt you’d ever get an event that appealed to everyone! It’s clear even from this limited discussion that some of the people who like little old Victorian things are a bit meh about big Pacifics and vice versa; and you’d probably find a third...

Jamessquared liked 6026 King John's post in the thread [Apr 18, 2024] Severn Valley Railway 2024 Spring Steam Gala (Severn Valley Railway).
An interesting debate but it's very much a personal viewpoint and just because a particular gala doesn't "rock your boat" it doesn't mean to say it's bad. There are a great number of events going on and unless you have unlimited time and money...

Jamessquared liked 35B's post in the thread Lynton and Barnstaple - Operations and Development.
I don’t have my copies of the M&As to hand, but I think I remember words there about voting rights only being removed when monies owed are more than 3 months overdue. If I’m right, and membership has only “not been renewed”, then it’s hard to see...

Of course, an organisation that retained your personal data beyond the point at which they needed it for the stated business purpose might be on somewhat sticky ground in GDPR terms ;) Too soon? :) Tom

Jamessquared liked Pete Thornhill's post in the thread Lynton and Barnstaple - Operations and Development.
Funnily enough I was just catching up and thinking exactly the same thing when I read your post, and remember well how the WSR thread was the same as you say. Mod note - Please can we try to remain on the subject this thread is about - the L&B...
