The attempt to have a motion on the agenda for the AGM to dismiss Peter Miles is now in the public arena, having been mentioned in the May issue of Narrow Gauge World. Unfortunately the piece lists the date as 18th May - it got me...

Well if you go and support this event they might be more inclined to do another and who knows what might happen then.

As interesting as it will be to see Palmerston, it would have been nice to have something different visit from the FR. Maybe Lyd or one of the Penrhyn Ladies?

Not much. It had a full mechanical overhaul during covid times and only did a few hundred miles after that. It is pretty sound underneath. The boiler is reasonable apart from some grooving along the throatplate but it would do another 10 years....

I find it telling that in past L&BR Trust Elections, any sitting Trustee has alway been a preferred candidate if there have been more candidates than postions available, or am I reading in to things that just don't exist?

As I understand it, all memberships run from 1 April to 31st March. The renewal process takes a little time (I pay by Direct Debit but haven't had my new card yet) and I think they do give some grace for late renewal. You may be in a "zombie...

As one of the "endorsed" candidates, the first that I heard of being on that list was a friend taking the micky about it on Saturday. I was actually expecting to be standing AGAINST a set of "official" candidates selected by the Board. I suspect...

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...

Maybe they think you are still a member? It would 'interesting' IMHO (if perhaps morally wrong) to send in a postal vote anyway and then see what reaction you get :-)

This thread seems to be suffering in the same way the WSR threads used to during their crises; when things went quiet for a bit a number of people who posted almost exclusively on that one thread got restless not having anything new to talk about...

lynbarn liked Charles Parry's post in the thread Brecon Mountain Railway.
Its a thought, and not the first time it has crossed some minds. Most are too small, but maybe the Dabhoi Gwalior Railway pacifics or perhaps the Fowler 0-6-0+T would fit in in the current roster. Sadly I think the NG6s wouldn't have the power...
