  1. Paul42 liked The Gricing Owl's post in the thread Spa Valley Railway - Latest News.

    @Jonnie as well as you not being a fool, you and your small team of volunteers run a medium length, wonderful heritage railway that attracts a lot of visitors and gives a very great deal of pleasure. I've not been there for a fairly short...

  3. Jamessquared liked Gladiator 5076's post in the thread Spa Valley Railway - Latest News.

    That is really a debate not about a loco returning to its home base after a loan, before it goes off on another, but the whole "value" for the want of a better word of visiting locos. Using your number and say an average £40 gala ticket that...

    Steam legs do seem to be coming ever shorter. Maybe in the dark months it matters less to most

    Thanks for that. I was rather hoping 34046 would be on the front if 70000 was not available. But I am sure there will be many who are pleased that 46100 is taking those trains, and I hope all goes well on Thursday for both runs.

  12. Phill S replied to the thread Overhead DC electrification - a potential solution to the conundrum of EMUs?.
